Figure 27: Reseda: What did you like BEST about the Head Start program?
The safety, responsibility, and sociality
I liked how my son learned so much in so little time.
I liked what my daughter learned this year in the program.
Wonderful teacher/parent communication. Loved the workshops and parent meetings.
Prepping my kid for kindergarten.
Everything! The communication between teachers and students.
Friendly and knowledgeable teachers and staff. Thank you for the opportunity.
How they take the kids and help them with their potty training and help with their speech and
socializing.
Very helpful and are truly concerned about every child.
The teachers are very nice.
Organization
Great teacher/parent communication
They teacher the children to be independent, follow directions, and prepare for kindergarten.
Since my child has started attending the program, she has been able to interact with other
children. She became so friendly and she also understands the importance of going to school.
That the classroom involved every child in activities and events and no one was left by
themselves.
I loved that each classroom has two teachers that take their time and efforts to help our kids to be
better and smarter.
That the teachers are welcoming, have the kids on a schedule/ routine. It has helped my child be
more open and social with others.
That my son has interaction with other people because he is very shy. And he learned so many
new things.
The dedication and patience of teachers Isabel Mata and Martha Rodriguez. The progress and
learning observed in my son, thank you.
My daughter learned how to interact with other children and how to play and share.
The teachers are very attentive and I like the way they taught children through play.
I liked that my daughter interacted with children her age and learned that we are all different and
special in our own way.
Everything from all the healthy habits they learned like washing their hands and brushing their
teeth. I also like that they had a fun day for the children.
Interactions with the students and teachers. Always keeping me informed about my child.
Communication was amazing throughout the school.
The best thing I liked about the program was the class size, the fact that it’s a parent involved
community made me feel welcomed and confident to be a part of my child's development.
The program is great and it helped me understand the changes and development my children.
All the effort that was put in to the children made them progress. My child's behavior has
improved and he learned how to count, his letters, and how to write his name. The teachers did a
great job.
The nutrition plan
Healthy food, that there are two teachers per class, parent classes, extra activities and theme days
for the children like Fun Day and others.
The good habits my son picked up like hand washing and eating healthier.
Very helpful office personnel and the program overall was very helpful for my child's
development.
