Head Start Parent Committee
This is a great way to get involved in your child’s education! Each of our Head Start locations has its own Parent Committee to help our team gain valuable feedback on the program.
These groups are exclusive to parents of currently enrolled children at each center and have three primary responsibilities:
- To advise staff on creating program policies, activities, and services.
- To plan and participate in programs and activities for parents and staff.
- To assist with the recruitment and screening of Head Start employees based on the guidelines created by our Board of Directors.
All parents of Head Start children are automatically eligible to join Parent Committee and there’s a role for everyone!
If you are interested in joining, please contact your Family Engagement Specialist today!
