Otero CDS Head Start in Lamar has students brush their teeth everyday, students have toothbrushing learning tools in their centers and we recently had a dental hygienist come to the center to screen over 15 children who had not yet had a dental screening completed by a dentist .

Parent Committee Meeting - parent fund expenditure


Our annual Week of the Young Child Celebration came to its fun finale on Thursday! From April 8th through the 11th, we happily honored our youngest learners, their families, educators, and highlighted the importance of early childhood education! Lamar Head Start started off the week with a visit from a great musician, who is also a father in our program. Tuesday, we invited parents to eat a tasty breakfast with their child, Wednesday we invited athletes from LCC to come spend time with our students during outdoor time and finally on Thursday, we walked to Lamar Community College. This culminated a total experience for Week of the Young Child. Many parents volunteered to walk with us, the Lamar Police Department stopped traffic so we could safely cross the highway and Dion and Laurie from LCC guided us through the innovate space where children had their face painted and drew with their friends while they waited. We also visited the cosmetology area for hair paint and tinsel, finishing up in the library for a few stories before walking back to the center just in time for lunch. Thank you to all the agencies for helping us make this week happen. Ms. Cecilia Center Manager at Lamar Head Start
