All children need to receive an appropriate education regardless of financial abilities, and Head Start works to make sure that they have the opportunity

I chose this program because it helps families locate and afford child care services within the community. Many families have trouble finding quality child care, especially when they are new to an area, and this agency helps with referrals and with the cost of child care.

Along with the current education and experience that I already have, I would need to become more familiar with the NC licensing guidelines and the 5 star rating system. Also for the Child Care Director position I will need to complete Administration I & II.
