"I am a single parent and my daughter is in the Salt Lake CAP Head Start program. I was first introduced to Head Start as a volunteer nurse. I did health screenings and reviewed immunization records for the children in several Head Start classes. Some of the 4 and 5 year-old children had poor hygiene and health histories for their short lives thus far. We detected nutritional and child eating disorders by monitoring heights and weights. We uncovered a metabolic disorder. Other deficiencies were found through blood tests. Speech therapy was begun for a little girl that would not have received it without Head Start. As you can see, from my experience Head Start is much more than just a preschool. The program detects health needs and allows for healthy playful days!"
-Kristi, Volunteer Head Start Nurse
