Child – Kaiden

“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.”

Child – Joseph

“I would most definitely recommend Early Head Start to all the new moms and dads out there. This program has shown me what a good parent is and having that special bond with your child. I have seen Joseph grow and develop in such amazing ways. From the start of home visits, he developed a lot of different skills, from learning how to crawl, to learning how to walk and eventually how to talk. At socializations, Joseph has made so many new friends along with new bonds with the educators. This experience has prepared Joseph for Head Start. I cannot wait for Joseph to make new friends and bond with his new teacher.”

Children – Kayley

“I absolutely love Head Start; Kayley has learned so much since she started. It has also helped her to interact with other children. If she is misbehaving at home and I notify her teacher, her teacher helps me by talking to Kayley in a way that she better understands. Kayley wants to stay at school longer; she loves it!”

Children – Jeanevieve

“LCHS means everything to me and my family.  My daughter was first enrolled in the Early Head Start program and is now in a Head Start classroom, where she is becoming an amazing individual.  The program has been so helpful to her and has also given me the opportunity to achieve my goals and has put me on the path to a career that I have always dreamed of.  Head Start has helped me to become a better mother, wife, and hopefully, one day, teacher.”

Children – Bryden, Nevaeh and Michael

“Thanks to the support of Head Start and home visiting programs, I’ve been able to complete my coursework to become an EMT/paramedic and start the process of buying a home.  This program has given my family so much.  I cannot begin to express how grateful I am.”

Grandchildren – Jayden and Julia

“The experience my grandson had with Early Head Start gave him a better chance.  As a grandmother, I did not realize there was so much you could do to help infants develop and grow.  Without Early Head Start and the motivation from the staff, my grandson probably would not have achieved his age-related goals.”

Child – Jeremy

“Head Start has helped my son, Jeremy, in many ways.  In the time he has been in this program, Jeremy has learned to share with his brother.  He has also learned how to be independent.  Jeremy enjoys singing and dancing at school and is happy to assist his teacher.  The Head Start program has also helped Jeremy to learn English and is supportive of our family.”

Child – Kahmara

“Head Start has given my daughter the chance to expand her social skills and to learn.  She loves her teacher and speaks so much about her classmates and the other teachers.  Head Start has not only afforded her the opportunity to develop and grow but has also given our family more people to help raise our daughter to be the best that she can be.”
