Head Start

It is true that there is a ton of paperwork, but it is worth it.
Compared to their peers, my kids were more prepared for kindergarten.
They received a balanced lunch and snacks while also learning a lot.
When my family needed assistance, the teachers listened to my worries and assisted them in coming up with a plan.
Things started to change about six years ago, and since then, the neighborhood has been getting better!
