We have a simlar program. Ours is Iters and echers, early head start. Our lady showed up today, 5 mins after I promised my 1-2 year olds they could paint (SIGH). So 6 kids cram around a table made for 4 (cause the big boss says meals are a small group thing and we cant feed all 8 of our kids at once, so some have to wait). Well 6 kids, 2 teachers, one table... Yep paint on kids, paint on table, paint on me. It was a mess. Then she fallowed us down to the school age room, where 3 of my kids got mad cause there wernt enough bikes, 2 biffed out chasing balls and one of the kids in the other class decided to scream "Shut the F-word up!" then "f-word you miss teacher!". OMG the look on her face. One of my kids turns and says "YOU NAUGHTY!" and slaps him!

It is super fun. My state posts the scores on the website so if you don't participate your name drops to the bottom and they shame you in commercials during family dinner time for being "low quality". Even after 25 years of operation without a substantiated complaint or documentable injury. We just love it.

We read the book (my son bought me a special edition many years ago as it was one of my favorites many years before the movie came out)
They get a printed train ticket and we set up chairs like a train. Then we watch the movie, have hot chocolate and each child gets a bell before they go home.

I think QRIS wants us to become headstart free-for-alls in my state. Head start pays well and offers great benefits and with my degree, I could get a job there quickly as they have lots of turnover here. However I think I will just stick to my own FCC program.

Except for the part where headstart has been a proven failure, repeatedly.
It is easy to demagogue universal pre-K, and Democratic politicians are doing so everywhere. But before we start a new entitlement that will never die, we should evaluate what we have now. Can anyone say taxpayers got $180 billion in benefit from Head Start over the past 50 years?
Two studies, one from 2012 which studied children in a Head Start program and another from 2016 which studied children in Tennessee’s statewide preschool program, found that children who participated had worse academic outcomes and were more likely to have behavioral problems.
Are Head Start program graduates living the productive and rewarding lives predicted for them? Does the program that spends billions make a difference?
The government's own evaluations have shown that the Head Start preschool program does not do what it was supposed to do.
- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

Actual facts don't prove anything.
