About ADVOCAP Head Start
ADVOCAP Head Start supports children ages 3 and 4 from low-income families through early education, family development, and community connections — at no cost to eligible families. Head Start helps children build the social, cognitive, and physical foundations they need to enter kindergarten ready to learn.
Now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year!
Enrollment is open for the upcoming school year, and we’re currently accepting applications from eligible families.
ADVOCAP offers center-based preschool in the City of Fond du Lac, North Fond du Lac, Ripon, and surrounding areas. In center-based learning, children attend a structured classroom four days a week led by a teacher and teacher assistant. In Green Lake County and rural Fond du Lac County, a home-based program model is in development for families in rural Fond du Lac County and Green Lake County.* This format brings Head Start programming directly to the home and supports parents as a child’s first teacher.
Families interested in learning more about eligibility or beginning the enrollment process are encouraged to contact our Head Start team. Learn more on the Head Start page here.
