Jefferson County Head Start

"My son goes here full time and today marks the 6th injury report that I've gotten. My son has been hurt by the SAME child 6 times now that I know of. They never call unless there's an apparent injury. They didn't call me today until 4 hours later since a bump showed up on his head because this same child pushed a bookshelf over onto my son's head. I know my son is not the only one that this child is bullying. A dad came in upset talking to this same child and told him it's not okay for him to hit his daughter. When I spoke to my case manager and told her my concerns and told her I know my son is not the only one I know this child is picking on because of the dad I saw confront the child, my case manager said and he's not the only one. So THERES MORE children this SAME child is bullying. And the school refuses to do anything. This is BULLYING. My son does not deserve this. This is why when kids get older and get bullied, self harm is an issue and schools refuse to do anything."

"Terrible! Noone ive met there should be allowed near children!! My daughter is potty training And most days she comes home in the same pull up i sent her in thats so full it leaked through her pants! She is there from 7:45 to 2:15 and no one changed her or took her to sitom tne potty! When asked they said she never told them she had to go! She had a possible case of covid to ne safe we quarantined her for the 5 fays per state guidelines and she had no fever for more thhan double the required 25 hrs but after dropping her off i wad called to come get her to find het sitting alone in a corner cruing watching all the other kids play. They could have taken her out of the classroom or something. Huge regrets sending her here"

"From the administration to the teachers this is by far the most wonderful, and caring school I have ever been to. They go above and beyond each and everyday for my daughters, as well as myself. Anne is one of the best in the business, and she is the most caring person I’ve ever met and worked with. She truly cares about all the children at Head Start, and you can see that everyday. I can’t praise Ms. Melissa & Ms. Sammi enough for truly loving what they do, and teaching my children everyday. They both are the top of the line teachers, and they have so much love for the kids it’s amazing. I love that my children beg me to go to school everyday, and you don’t hear that often. I can’t give this school enough credit, they are all so amazing here, I HIGHLY recommend sending your children here is you can, you know they are learning, and being loved each day. Thank you to all of you for truly making this school a better and brighter place, you all deserve the most praise!"

"Came here to talk about my son becoming a future student and what not. The front office staff was amazing and very nice. But I’m giving three stars because I came during school hours and they just let me walk right in. After Ringing the door bell no one asked my name or why I was there or anything. Makes me worried for the safety of children and what their procedures are. Looks can be deceiving and I as a parent take their safety very serious."

"The admin staff, teachers and fss are incredibly friendly, considerate and helpful. They make my child's enrollment a breeze and are incredibly insightful. Fresh meals, safe and secure facility, teaching my children who both have speech delays to talk and learn to use the potty. What an incredible gov funded school. Please ignore xtina's comments below which is ignorant and unreliable. Yes, they do home visit to make sure that each family are well supported and they provide services and aid if you need one. They will help and direct you to job searches, food or whatever a family are in need of. Of course they will report the school if your child is neglected/abused because they are there to protect children from any bad actions a parent or family member might inflict. But they are not instigators. And yes, they do mental screening if your child might have problems with depression, anxiety tt they might faced and parents are not aware off. The school focuses on enriching children and families, that's why they are extremely thorough but not prejudice in their system."
