“Head Start was an invaluable experience for my family. Two of my three children attended for two years each where they were allowed and helped to grow and prepare for school. Both are now excelling academically, and socially. They each find friendships at Head Start that I really believe will be lifelong. I can't sing the praises of Head Start enough and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their children to grow and begin their educational journey. ”
