As I was watching the video clips I felt relieved. All I hear now a days about Head Start is that it is just a free day care. After watching all these videos it made my professional thoughts feel so much better. It is always good to hear people talk good about Head Start. It makes me feel so much better to know I am really making a difference in these families lives.
When we get parents involve they feel like the belong. It is important for them to be involved because what we teach the children the parents can continue at home and in the summer. That way their child is receiving services all year long.
I feel if more people watched these videos they were better understand Head Start. I think the government officials should watch these. That way they can see true testimony and maybe put more money towards it.
Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteThe videos were very inspiring. It seems to me that a lot of early childhood programs are considered to be free childcare, but we are so much more. We influence and change lives. We change the lives of both our children and parents. The Head Start videos show what a true difference early childhood programs can make.
