“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 For more information about the Head Start program, please visit: https://lnkd.in/e79bcRXN
