We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our new playground at the James St. Head Start site. From the kiddos who will be able to have the best time to all the amazing people who made this possible, we are so thankful. Thanks for making this all come together!
Their presence ensures that special needs children receive additional individualized support, encouragement and companionship. By providing a stable, loving presence in a young person’s life, Foster Grandparents are building bridges between the younger and older generations.
In improving the lives of the children they serve, Foster Grandparents are profoundly improving their own lives. While remaining active and contributing to their communities, Foster Grandparents experience improved health, welfare and quality of life.
Despite the pandemic, 96% of AmeriCorps Senior-Foster Grandparent Program participants reported improved mental and emotional health.

On May 3rd, our Head Start Program hosted a Literacy Event that was full of fun activities and delicious treats! Families made and ate ice cream; each child brought home a new book and supplies to enjoy!
Teresa Piedmonte has been our Facilities Office Manager since October 2020, and she has made a huge impact on the department right from her first day on the job, channeling her can-do attitude and infectious positive energy to do great things. Her notable achievements include improving the purchase order process, finding and implementing a new and highly effective online work order system, and earning the title of “Queen of Inventory” by overseeing the clean-up, renovation, and reorganization of the warehouse into an efficient operation ensuring the documentation and loss-prevention of all agency supplies and maintenance equipment.
Thank you, Teresa, for everything you do, and congratulations for being named our Employee of the Month!
