#HeadStart has long held the belief that the family is a child’s first and most important teacher.
This Parents as Teachers Day, join us in celebrating the parents and caregivers who guide, encourage, and champion their children every day.
Recently, Ms. Bryant and Mr. Miller created engaging, hands-on learning experiences that allowed @porterleath students to explore all things related to clothing.
They sorted clothes by size and explored how clothes are made to learning different ways to dry clothes.

Check out election day at @porterleath in #SouthCity!
Students learned about the election process & how voters cast their ballots based upon their choice. Children practiced voting for their favorite Thanksgiving food - turkey dressing or sweet potatoes. Which would you choose?
