Voices of Head Start:
Samantha

“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.”
