Voices of Head Start:
Cindy

"Early Head Start has greatly helped my son develop his gross and fine motor skills and learn his shapes, colors, alphabet and numbers through cooperative play. He learned the importance of good hygiene and eating healthy with a hands-on approach. His teacher, Alyssa, was able to recognize when intervention and evaluation were needed. It's a wonderful program that I encourage all parents of young children to explore."
