“The Head Start program has helped my son interact with other children, follow routines, learn manners, and see and try new fruits and vegetables. What I like most about the program is the support families receive should they need any help with situations involving the child. I consider the program the beginning of a valuable education in various facets of children's lives in their early years.” - Scarla, Parent, and Fendi, 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

“The Head Start program has helped my son achieve meaningful learning experiences and improved personal development, such as talking, participating and socializing with his peers, paying attention, following directions, and completing assignments. He has also been able to practice new skills independently and be persistent in learning new things.

“Head Start was instrumental when it came to providing my youngest son with a strong educational foundation, essential health services, and the social-emotional development necessary to thrive in school and beyond. As a single mother of two boys, I depended on Head Start services to attend college full-time. Head Start allowed my son to grow and learn in a comfortable and extremely nurturing environment. The program began the journey to my son’s success in school. He is currently in 11th grade and has been an honor roll student from elementary school to the present day.” -Crystal Strunk, Parent of Former Berks County Head Start Student
