This week’s Awareness theme is “Why I Love Head Start” .. select an option below and send YOUR why to info@ilheadstart.org .. (get the fundraiser toolkit resource). #HeadStartAwareness Here is a beautiful example from Millie Young, HB Education Coord. (PACT West Central IL): “I love Head Start because I have first-hand knowledge of how they help parents to succeed in their role. I am a thirty plus year employee for PACT for WCI! I started as a parent in the home-based option. I served three years on the Policy Council and then applied for a position as a Home-Based teacher. Head Start is ever growing and has helped me to grow also. The Head Start philosophy on teaching children is the best! It is comprehensive and play-based, but best of all built on strong, positive relationships!”
