Summary
As an easy going and approachable director, I ensure that the early head start home based program runs smoothly. Specifically, I oversee the work of home based visitors who work directly with the families enrolled, making sure education goals are being met and that all data is entered properly in the ChilsPlus database. I run a successful Mommy and Me program for the children and mothers in the program every two weeks. I am the liaison between the Early Headstart center based program teachers and the families of the two year olds in the program.
