WELCOME BACK, HEAD START TEACHERS! ✏️

Today, our Warren-Forest EOC Head Start teachers are back and getting ready for another great school year! 🎉

And while “teaching” might be in the job title… we all know it’s only one piece of what they do. ❤️

They plan. They encourage. They comfort. They organize. They keep little ones safe. They celebrate big milestones and tiny victories. They create classrooms where children can learn, grow, and feel like they belong.

There’s a whole lot that happens before those classroom doors open and today, the preparation begins!

Welcome back, Head Start teachers! We’re excited to have you back and can’t wait to see what this school year brings. 💚
