I chose to do my research topic on The Role Head Start plays in the life of the community, families, and children education. Throughout my career I have had the pleasures of working with different age groups of children. I have taught preschoolers for over ten years now and I have also taught different childcare curriculums. The most exciting and rewarding job that I have taught was with The Montgomery Community Action Agency Head Start program. From a parent of a Head Start student to a teacher of the Head Start program I can clearly say that Head Start has made a difference in my family life.
