In June 2026, during Head Start WEST’s First 1,000 Days! Early Head Start Conference, we asked attendees to share a sixty second Head Start story.
This is Angelina Corpus from Kings Community Action Organization.
Transcript:
“Hello, my name is Angelina Corpus. I work for KCAO. And my story that I know that Head Start works for the fact that I am myself a Head Start baby. Head Start helped my mom in a time when she really needed the help. Me and my sister, we received- Head Start took us to the dentist when we needed a dentist. We had all day care when my mom needed it. We got to learn a lot of things, and it just left us with the consistency of routine that we developed during life. And now, going back, I see that it worked for me. I didn’t fall into any struggles. And now I’m paying it forward with the help that I received when I was younger and that my mom received. So I’m trying to give back to the children that I serve and the families that I serve to help them and give them the experience that I got when I was young.”
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
