Families seeking early childhood services will have an opportunity to apply in person next week during the Little Hawks Application Clinic in Hutchinson.
The clinic is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 23, and is designed to help families enroll in preschool, child care or home-based services through the Little Hawks early childhood program.
District officials say walk-ins are welcome, but families are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance to reduce wait times. Appointments can be made by calling 620-615-5784.
Applicants must bring required documentation, including proof of birth for the child — such as a state-issued birth certificate. For prenatal applicants, a sonogram or a letter from a doctor is acceptable.
Families must also provide proof of household income. Acceptable documents include a 2025 W-2 form, a 2025 income tax return, the three most recent pay stubs or a SNAP approval letter.
In addition, parents or guardians must present proof of address, such as a piece of mail showing their name and current address.
Program officials say the clinic is intended to streamline the enrollment process and ensure eligible families can access early childhood education and support services.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, families may call 620-615-5784.
The final clinic this spring is set for the Lincoln Center at 315 East Bigger on March 30. The clinic will run from 3 to 7 p.m.
