The best part about Head Start:

Where do you even begin? We start with children who are just beginning their educational career and essentially get them with a clean slate. Head Start offers resources to not only them but their family also. We provide them with opportunities to be creative, love learning and develop much-needed social skills. Head Start being available to families can be the stepping stone that a mom needs to start school or that helps that dad who needs to go to work full time. When Head Start programs were created years ago, they could not have picked a better name. We are giving our children, our families and our communities a "head start" in the rest of their lives. Families are given the peace of mind that their children are in a safe, engaging learning environment that is free, which, in my opinion, is priceless. Our families and staff become family and for that, I am thankful!
