My Supports

I am presently an employee of a Head Start program. This program is one that I was able to start with first as a parent, then given the opportunity to take my intern, then a full time teacher. So i am able to understand many different angles of this agency. Part of the support that i received as a parent was knowledgeable teachers and a program that offered a wonderful environment for my child to play and learn. Later as a teacher I was able to pass on to my students the same services but more. Part of the support that I receive is from the professional development staff, agency provided incentive program and agency support staff. This includes speech and language, Occupational and physical therapy. My agency provides information on training offered throughout the community. Part of the staff development staff is to provide information to teachers. Other support facilities include Childcare connections. Here we can find information on other agencies and training to update certifications and personal development. Other support may also include family support, health and nutrition and incentive for parent involvement.
