Yesterday U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy toured the Southeastern Louisiana University Head Start and Early Head Start Center in Hammond.
Cassidy assisted the Regina Coeli Child Development Center in securing critical grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services so they could purchase new and replace 12 old modular buildings, as well as continue providing Head Start services in Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington Parishes.
Cassidy said the SLU Head Start program, the teachers and the staff truly give vulnerable children a head start.
Dr. Cassidy also met with Susan G. Spring, Ph.D., who is the Executive Director of the Regina Coeli Child Development Center, under which the SLU Head Start and Early Head Start Center operates.
