5-year-old Ben spent his earliest years in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the world finally reopened, he struggled to connect with other kids.
“I really wanted something that would instill a desire to learn and a desire to explore,” remembers his mom, Jazmond.
Then, she stumbled across a Head Start flyer in their North Carolina neighborhood.
Jazmond calls enrolling Ben “the best decision ever.” Caring teachers coaxed him out of his shell, helping him build confidence, independence and new friendships.
Since joining Head Start, Ben and his little brother have made remarkable strides in their social and emotional development.
But the program has transformed their parents’ lives, too.
Mom and Dad discovered a true sense of community at Head Start, accessing invaluable resources – everythingfrom career coaching to mental health support.
