We had no clue that this program would be our biggest support during the first six months of our child's life. They helped us pay our bills in a time when we needed the help the most and gifted our baby an amazing stroller. The cycle of giving is nonstop with this program, and our family is thriving because of the support we've received from CCRC. Shoutout to the Parent Educator for being so supportive and answering our never-ending questions about child development.
It's been great with the support that CCRC gives, they don't just throw you in, they're very supportive. They help you make it fit into your lifestyle. They accommodate your time to get it done and the support has been amazing. Overall, everyone in the program makes you feel welcome and like you can do it.
I attended Head Start myself and had forgotten about the great opportunities it provided. Recently, I visited the 10th St. location in Lancaster, which opened my eyes to the opportunities available. The schools were clean, the teachers were kind and attentive, and the lunch menu was great. This created a sense of relief for me, allowing me to focus on my own health.
