New Specialist Engages Families

Long time Head Start employee Maria Vasquez has been promoted to the program’s Family Engagement Specialist.

Vasquez has a long history with LCCAA Head Start. Her younger sister attended the program and her mother was a parent volunteer.

Vasquez started working for the agency in 1998 as a family service worker. Her most recent position was the Collaborative Services Supervisor, overseeing many aspects of the program partnerships with school districts and other providers.

Additionally, all of Vasquez’s children have been part of the Head Start program.

“I truly enjoy working with children and families,” she said. “I love this job!”
