A suggested script â adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm looking for childcare or parenting support.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the OLHSA Head Start and Early Head Start - Oakland County program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as At or below 100% FPL; children in foster care or experiencing homelessness automatically eligible, Oakland County?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 8am-5pm (enrollment); program hours vary. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm â is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call_or_online.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
