Decatur

 

Decatur

We are a comprehensive Pre-school program which instills the values of manners, self-worth and respect for others. We are an ECERS accredited facility. We emphasize parent involvement and preparation for transition into kindergarten. At our Decatur Center we have a diverse community which is reflected in our enrollment. We employ friendly, warm hearted staff who speak the diverse native languages at our center. We accommodate parents work schedules and school schedules by offering full and part day services. We are here to provide a service to our families to better themselves and improve their parenting skills.

Volunteers:
  • Stacy Robertson
  • Floyd Phillips
  • Shea Hopkins
  • Yamileth Reyes
  • Jennifer Gilliam: is a parent who takes time out of her day to volunteer in the classroom when she is not working. She helps our Head Start teachers every morning with daily tasks. Jennifer is a wonderful person and we are so glad to have her involved with our center.

Better Beginnings Accredited

Our location is a State Quality Approved childcare facility, providing a higher quality overall program. Given this designation, we have been proven to not only meet, but exceed the standards providing:
  • A program that views parents as an important part of the early education of their children,
  • A physical environment that is supportive of the physical and mental development of each child in our care,
  • An educational program that prepares children for success in school,
  • Trained professional staff who know how to work effectively with children and who continue to pursue educational and training opportunities.

Door Entry Security

kes_02.jpgOur Keyless Entry System limits access to our Head Start centers by allowing entry only to authorized staff and families. Unique ID codes are assigned to each person. Codes may be disabled at any time providing a safe, secure environment for children and peace of mind for parents. Our system keeps a live record of who enters our buildings allowing us to monitor building access in real time or by printing a daily log. Each ID code may also be placed on a restricted list directly from our center computer.
