WELCOME to Golden Forest Head Start!
My name is Ana Rodriguez, Center Director. My staff and
I would like to extend a warm WELCOME to all the
children and families we will serve this program year.
For
the past seven years, Golden Forest has provided an
educational environment with qualified, experienced
teachers and support staff for our students and their
families while embracing cultural and ethnic
diversities. These children benefit from receiving a
strong foundation in academics, and the development of
social/emotional and motor skills. In addition, the
families have the opportunity to participate in their
child’s learning through the weekly family activity
packets, monthly parent meetings, and volunteer
opportunities.
Golden
Forest families have access to adult education classes,
such as GED, ESL, Computer, Parenting Education,
Fatherhood and Healthy Relationship. To meet the special
needs of a child or the family, our health, nutrition,
intervention and social services collaborate to provide
guidance and resources. Research shows that children
have more success in school and life when they have the
support of caring adults and good role models. Golden
Forest joins parents/families to form a solid “TEAM” and
together, we plant the early “Seeds of Success.” In the
words of Jose Villarreal, AVANCE‘s Executive Director,
“Children have Aspirations, AVANCE provides the
Inspiration.”
At
Golden Forest, every day has the potential to be “great”
because each child has “great” potential.
Once again,
welcome!
