Page 73 - PROGRAM IMPACT AND SATIFACTION AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF HEAD START PARENTS

Figure 7: Napa: What can be done to improve the Head Start program?
 Maybe a little more emphasis on writing skills.
 More activities in the child's playground and more toys.
 Nothing I find the program is wonderful as it is.
 Maybe add a music class for kids.
 Not much, but I don't understand why the kids can't celebrate holidays with classmates.
 More academics, letters, numbers, shapes, etc.
 More help for parents, for children.
 Every month make a list of the parents, so that parents will choose a day of the week, of who can
help in their child's classroom and learn from the teacher to help their children at home. For example: When I came to class to help I learned some stuff I was able to teach my son at home. It helped me and my child.
 It's already perfect.
 Head Start program director and staff. Great job.
 Nothing. I liked the program a lot.
 I think everything is great.
 It is great as is.
 Adding a slide and swings to the playground.
 More activities for the children - both group and individual.
 A program that directly involves the parent with their child.
 I think the program works well.
 I think it is perfect.
 Everything was great. Thank you for helping my son. You are great teachers.
 Offer more meetings for parents to learn better parenting skills and give us resources to help our
children be more successful in all areas.
 Everything is great.
