Year Ending and (finally) Pandemic too

Hello Parents,

It is my hope that everyone had a wonderful spring break and holiday week. Having some time off to be with family and friends is all we need sometimes.

As I reflect at the end of the program year, it has brought us so many wonderful activities and new opportunities. It finally feels like we are getting past the pandemic and are able to resume some of our normal processes.

Our pick up and drop off procedure is one example and, for the most part, it has gone quite well. I would like to take this opportunity and note some expectations that are in the Parent Handbook provided to you at enrollment and parent orientation.

We believe it is important to ensure a positive educational and safe environment for all children, parents and staff. Please review the “Parent Conduct” section. As always, we thank you for your cooperation.

This month as we close out the end of our program year, I want to thank you for choosing our program.

The Head Start model was born in 1965 and continues to be the most unique and affective child development program for early learning.

Its comprehensive, holistic approach to early learning and development, ensures each child and their family will have high quality services.

The National Head Start Association has some special events planned to celebrate the program’s birthday on May 18 (see our events page).

It has been an incredible year and if your child is transitioning to kindergarten, we wish you well! If you have a child coming back to our program, we will see you in the fall. Have a safe and wonderful summer season.

Shauna Matelski, Ed.D. Head Start Director
