So Proud of our Children's Services staff and parents and the incredible work together for young families, their children and our communities. After a week long monitoring visit by the State of California, CAC received very high marks at the exit conference this week. Thank you to the staff with a special shout out to our fearless leader, Mattie Gadsby, Children's Services Director. (8 photos)

Maggie's Garden!!! The dream is being realized! Announced at the naming of the Maggie Espinoza Center in Guadalupe in May 2014, Maggie's Garden is now being planted with the help of parents and staff. Take a little walk down the not too distant past when dignitaries, family, friends and staff all came to rename the Maggie Espinoza Center. Never forgotten, a garden is planted in your honor.

Yeah!!!!!!! This morning, at the Head Start Policy Council skyped between Santa Maria and Goleta, parent representatives from across the County cheered when the news was shared about CAC not having to compete for 5 years to operate Head Start!!!! This determination was based on very strict criteria measuring the quality of the program- from the classrooms to the administration. Yeah!!!!!!!! (2 photos)

After a long day of nurturing infants and young children in their homes, Family Child Care Providers had dinner with CAC Children's Services staff. Along with Head Start updates, professional development opportunities were presented from First 5. Thank you for the love, care and confidence that you give parents while they are working and their children are in your care!
