Prepare them to fill your shoes. We can help provide the foundation our children need to become future role models. Because we believe “a seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.”
(Welsh Proverb)

Learning Genie
Hello Families!
Family Development Services is excited to announce that we will begin using Learning Genie to share special moments and reminders about your Early Head Start child with you daily starting April 12, 2021.
Please download the Learning Genie Parent App to your cell phone, IPAD or tablet (make sure that you select the Learning Genie Parent App) and sign up with the special code your Child’s teacher will give you. Use your personal email address to register on the app; this should be an email address that you check regularly to see your child’s daily report in an email which your child’s teachers will send to you daily. You can watch the Youtube video below to learn how to use this app; the video is available in English and Spanish. If you experience any concerns with accessing this app, please call your child’s center and we will make arrangements to assist you with accessing this new app.
Once you’re signed up, you will also be able to receive updates on your child daily through the app. These updates can include photos, activities, books, songs, videos, updates on potty, naps, meals and more!
Family Development Services is really excited to enhance our connection with families, which will also enhance your child’s learning experience!
See you on the Learning Genie app!
