Head Start Coach
I was a Head Start parent myself. It was 19 years ago that my 3 year old started in the Head Start program at KidZCommunity. It was a difficult time because he had strong separation anxiety but my son’s center helped us both through it. Then they found out that I had some college units and they encouraged me to finish my AA and to come work for them. One of my son’s teachers even took me to my first interview to become a substitute teacher! I have been at KidZCommunity since then. I finished my AA degree in 2015, and with the support of the agency, I finished my Bachelor’s degree. I started as a substitute teacher, was an associate teacher for 10 years, then teacher once I got my AA, then a Site Supervisor, and now I am the Head Start Coach. My son is now 19 years old. I love what we do at KidZCommunity. I love to support our families, children and the teachers. It is a 100% supportive environment. I am grateful to be part of it.
I cannot express how much the Head Start program helpme get back on my feet and thrive!

I really loved the men’s program. I learned tools to be able to work with my ex and how to raise our child.

They help me with the kids and give me progress reports on how they are doing. Also, I really appreciate the diapers donations.

I was expecting less resources. I was really surprised. They had more than I expected! From offering fresh organic meals to dental and health care support, I am so grateful for all the support I have received.
