Early Childhood Development
CPLC's Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs are committed to giving every child, regardless of circumstances at birth, an opportunity to succeed in school and life.
A child’s brain develops more during the first five years than at any other time in life. Research indicates that a child’s experiences during these formative years have a lasting impact on their ability to learn and succeed. CPLC’s ECD Head Start programs provide comprehensive, developmentally appropriate early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families in safe, nurturing and supportive environments which successfully address each child’s total learning experience.

In May of 2022, 19 children and two teachers were murdered at Robb Elementary School.
The shooting left the small town of Uvalde, TX in disbelief, despair, and grief. After something so traumatic, it’s difficult to know how to move forward. How to heal.
Just a few blocks from the school, CPLC operates a Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Center that has been serving Uvalde for more than 20 years. Some of our former students were among the victims. Many of our students and staff had family in the school during the tragedy.
Our small team at this center committed themselves to doing what they could to help their community heal during this impossible time.
Immediately after the tragedy, our staff reached out to the families of survivors and the parents of our former students whose lives were robbed. We offered food pantries, mental health resources, and a shoulder to cry on.
We have shared meals and tears together. We have checked in and supported where we could. We have shown up. We have made space.
We invite you to learn from our staff, parents, and students about our continued commitment to make a difference in their lives during a difficult time. Today, we would like to share their story with you.
