A letter from a Child Inc Head Start parent:
Dear Child Inc staff,
... I want to thank the entire Child Inc/Grant staff for all you have done for my daughter & family. You all gave Tonee’ the best first two-years of school. Tonee’ and I enjoyed our two years at Grant. She learned & accomplished so many goals that we set for her. I feel so confident about her going on to Kindergarten. The teachers and staff members at Grant are nice, caring, helpful & well qualified to help and prepare our children for the future. I am and will recommend Child Inc/ Grant to all friends, family members, and other parents who are preparing for their child/children to attend Head Start. Child Inc/ Grant has done so much for my child and our family that I just wanted to let you all know how much we appreciated being able to be part of the Child Inc/ Grant family. Tonee’ will be attending Kindergarten… with her youngest older brother Jalen. She went right into school with a smile and so brave I was so proud of her. Thanks again for all the hard work you all did with her.
Please share this with all the Child Inc/ Grant staff members, and let them know they are the best at what they do.
P.S. Tonee’ is so much more advanced then the other kids that’s where all you guys hard work paid off.
Thank you,
Nyisha Demus & family

Two months later, he passed away due to complications from the surgery. Now a single parent of seven, Flor was under even greater pressure to support herself and her family. When one’s back is against the wall, there are generally two types of people: those who collapse and allow themselves to be victims of misfortune, and those who see their circumstances as a challenge that must be overcome. Fortunately, Flor was the latter of the two. Read More...
Nutrition Services and the Visiting Teacher program:
A little girl’s mother approached her child’s teacher early this year. She was concerned about her child’s health and the fact that she had become overweight and overly quiet. She told the visiting teacher, “I want my daughter to be healthy and active”. Child Inc’s nutritionist was brought in to conduct a two-hour home visit one Saturday morning (the only time the mother had available due to her job). It was determined that the child was obese according to the height and weight charts. Obesity is a major cause of health issues in this country, and obese children enter their young adulthood with a disadvantage. Was there any hope for this four-year-old girl? Read More...
