Cullman City Head Start parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education. This process starts at application time. Parents are encouraged to join a committee and attend meetings monthly. Some of the committees the parents participate in are policy council, health services advisory council, school readiness committee, and parent, family and community engagement meetings.  Parents also attend monthly parent activities or trainings.

The program also encourages parents to help or lead activities in the classroom or help with planning activities or trainings for parents and children. Parents are encourage to participate in monthly activities at home with their child. Each month PACT calendars are sent home with activities for the parent and child to complete together at home. Cullman City Head Start held events for the parents and children throughout the year. Some of the events that we held last year were Community Helper Parade, Grandparent’s Day, Fall Festival, Holiday Class Parties, Parent Pumpkin Carving Picnic and “Eggs-travaganza”. Each of these events allow Cullman City Head Start Staff opportunities to become more engaged with our children and their families.
