“Head Start has helped me and my son with his speech. Before, he wouldn’t talk, not even in his native language, and now he can speak clearly in Spanish and has learned English. He has also improved with numbers and colors. I feel very happy with everything that my son has accomplished in the program. The parent meetings have been very positive for me because I gained knowledge and was able to understand my child more and meet other families. This program should stay open because it gives a lot of support to parents and helps them to lighten the load that comes with parenthood.” -Yusetti, Parent, and Amin, Head Start Student

“Rosa was shy and behind her peers in development. I began working with the wonderful teachers at Head Start to come up with a plan to get Rosa fully engaged and the help she needed to succeed. Her teachers went above and beyond, offering both program and personal support to get Rosa on track. Thanks to her teachers’ care, patience, and knowledge, Rosa began to open up and improved tremendously. The early intervention she received with the program is a huge part of her success. Today, she’s a thriving student, soccer player, Girl Scout, and marathon runner. Head Start gives children like Rosa a chance to succeed even when the odds are against them.” -Felicia Cochrane, Caregiver, and Rosalena, Former Head Start Program Student
