To register, parents must come to a Family Education and Information Center with an original or certified copy of the child's state-issued birth certificate; and proof of residency such as a recent utility bill for power, water, cable, sewer, noncellular phone or a lease agreement bearing the name and address of the parent or guardian.
The St. Petersburg Family Education and Information Center is at 3420 Eighth Ave. S. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
