A typical day begins with a follow-up from the previous day. I complete what was not completed. I work on documenting any parent contact in files. I work on updating information that has occur ex. home visit log or any notes sent home to parents. I learned by updating my information constantly, I dont have to do it at the end of the month. therefore, my monthly and quarterly reports are easy to produce because the information is there. I make calls to setup home visits, make follow-up calls from home visits and calls due to unexcused absences.The management has taught me to always be prepared when asked for information pertaining to my case load.I have co-workers who are team players. When we are given an assignment, we all work together as a team to get the job done. The hardest part of my job is not having enough time in the day to help those in need. The most enjoyable part of my job is when a parents or parents have achieved a sense of self reliance. This makes me feel I had a hand in changing someone's circle of depending on public assistance.I feel my work is not in vain. I love helping people!!!

The job isn’t bad but the people around you can make or break it for you BIG time. Management could be 100% better if they communicated better and didn’t treat like some other number. Forget about being talked like a human being you’ll be put to the side and just spoken to sarcastically. Training is like a last minute training and you’ll be expected to do your best with very minimum training (this is specifically the receptionist position). Pay is average and benefits are too costly. Management can be very immature especially because many of them are best friends outside of work so Management can careless about you if you are best friends with them. Rules don't apply to their friends. The position isn’t hard its just the people around can make you feel like you are back in middle schools with a few bullies here and there. 



A typical day at work as an Early Head Start teacher involves preparing lesson plans, engaging with young children through educational activities, and collaborating with parents to support child development. I believe I've learned the importance of early childhood education and the impact it has on lifelong learning. Management is supportive, providing resources and training to ensure we can offer the best education possible. The workplace culture is inclusive and nurturing, fostering a sense of community among staff and families. The hardest part of the job is managing the diverse needs of each child while ensuring everyone receives equal attention. The most enjoyable part is witnessing the children's growth and development, seeing their faces light up with understanding and joy. 





a typical day same always, some teachers go on the extreme and never been value their job done. always have something negative. Parents sometimes need more opportunity like bring child early at 730 because they have job and they denied it. they took out that program. The manager only goes on their preferences a make a lot of comment from peoples, it's not professionalism. Don't look for good support when its need it. Don't give you options sometimes when you must need that. They provide some good training. that's the only thing i see is good.

The management for this company is all over the place. They will give you conflicting answers and give you trouble if you didn’t guess the policy correctly. They say they will support you but will turn their back on you in a heart beat. The co-workers are all friendly and the children are wonderful. The management team? Horrible and biased. Please do not waste your time coming to work there. They will change your hours and go back on everything they say. Whatever you do is not good enough for them. Definitely will not be recommending anyone to work here.

I loved my position as Center Coordinator for Tri County Communication Action Agency. The children at the Head Start Program were so lovable. All of them were like little sponges eager to learn new skills everyday.

At certian areas there’s a lot of bad people who will take advantage of you and use it to get you fired.  When I was working. There are no men rights all women run the company which is poor community. You have mangers who think they are above everyone. But at the same time they don’t have their lives or teams in order. But yet wanna act like they are better.  Just a company in a whole bad work environment and don’t care who they walk over.
