Testimonials
“My daughter has been in Kindergarten almost a year now, and still says how much she misses her Teachers at CPC’s Head Start. You can feel how much the teachers, cooks and mangers care about the children and the community we live in. I am very thankful my child had the opportunity to attend Head Start”.
Jessica F.
Head start parent
“My family life was hard. But I always felt cared about and I never went hungry when I attended Head Start. I’m 18 years old now, working and attending college. My Head Start Teacher made a positive impact that I will always appreciate and remember.”
