"I manage our Intake team of 3, for 5 Childcare sites. (I also manage 5 interpreters). I choose to work for CAP because they helped me when I was a single mom that needed guidance. My job over the 27 yrs. has changed many times. From homeless prevention to SNAP applications to Head Start enrollment. I think my favorite part is working for Head Start and being a part of the goals to help lift families out of poverty. (And seeing the children every day and being able to interact with them)"
Abigail David
Assistant Director
"As Assistant Director, my goal is to support my team in meeting the expectations of their roles to ensure school readiness and family engagement. Early Head Start is where all my ideals around education come together. I believe education start at birth, that a child's home is their first classroom, that parents are their child's first teachers, and that education is a collaborative effort. Making a difference is my favorite part, that moment when families share how they have completed their goals or what new things they are doing to support growth and learning because of a resource provided is truly rewarding."
