Success Stories

I love the whole experience

I’m so happy that my son is attending Head Start in Bushnell. The experience has been so positive. They showed me that being a part of my son's schooling was so important and so meaningful. When my son started, he was smart, but during the school year, he has developed so much more. The staff made me feel so loved and welcome, but it was also good to know someone loved my son as much as I did.
