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.”

Child – Carlos

“Before beginning at Head Start, my son, Carlos, could not be understood.  Since he has started, he has opened up to others, shares, talks, eats better and is calmer.  He loves his classroom and looks forward to going to school.  It has also helped me to understand him; not only his speech but also his abilities.  The overall experience has been great for both Carlos and I.  I will miss Head Start and the staff when he goes to kindergarten.”

Child – Amari

“Head Start has been a tremendous help to my family in many ways. My son, Amari, has learned so much and communicates with myself and my husband much better. I have also seen improvements with how he interacts with his baby sister. His teacher and her classroom staff have also played a huge role in helping to fully potty-train Amari. I am forever grateful for the love and patience the staff at Head Start has for my son.”
