Yesterday I had the great fortune of meeting with Dr. Seretha Curry, the director of HeadStart for the Urban League. She and her Assistant Director were very enthusiastic about our school model and scheduled information presentations at all of their parent meetings for the month of November. As we talked more about SLLIS Dr. Curry said “You’re not going to have enough spaces for the demand!” What joy! She is the first person that I’ve met in the past two years who was so immediately convinced that parents in all demographics would flock to our schools. Ms. Denise asked if she could put her three year old on the intent to enroll list now. The more we talked about our parent engagement model Dr. Curry said “I love it!” and noted that because her families are customed to a high level of parent involvement and voice in their HeadStart experience, they would be particularly excited to be founding families whose voices were respected and solicited by the school.
“This is going to catch like wildfire.” – Seretha Curry, Ed.D
Thanks Dr. Curry!
