- Follow the directions under the title that you fall under.
- Once you have created your account and have logged in, choose Child Find Appointment Request from the menu and click Begin New Registration and Verification.
You can find detailed directions for completing this step on the tab to the left titled "Detailed directions for completing registration (Step 1)". If you need assistance with ParentVUE, more information can be found at the links on the left of the online registration page or by clicking this link: LCPS ParentVUE
We cannot schedule an appointment until all of the supporting documents are supplied. If you elect to provide a hard copy of the documents, you will need to bring the documents to the Preschool Child Find office BEFORE we can schedule an appointment.
STEP #2: Please complete the Preschool Child Find Multi-Purpose Referral Form in detail via this link: Preschool Child Find Multi-Purpose Referral Form
If your child attends preschool or daycare, please share the following link with the preschool teacher/daycare provider and ask them to complete it as soon as possible. Preschool Teacher/Daycare Provider Input Report
Once BOTH steps 1 & 2 are completed correctly and all of the documentation is provided, we will contact you to schedule an appointment.
All initial appointments are held in person at the Preschool Child Find office located in The Historic Douglass High School Education and Development Campus, 407 East Market Street, Leesburg, VA 20176.
Our appointments are available for PRESCHOOL children ages 2 (by September 30) to 5 (NOT age-eligible or registered for Kindergarten). Once your child is age-eligible and registered for Kindergarten, please contact the school that they will be attending to discuss your concerns. If your child will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall, please contact the school that they will be attending to discuss your concerns.
