"I Don't Want to Go!"

Kid Anxiety and Starting School

Meet Julia, our new CFCE staff person!

My name is Julia Taylor, and I am from Attleboro, MA! I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a Bachelor's in Psychology, as well as minors in Criminal Justice and Disability Studies! I have years of experience working in childcare at various preschools, as well as nannying for multiple families. You may have seen me helping out at some playgroups over the last month; I am so excited to join the Self-Help CFCE team and continue getting to know all of our families!

Are you in need of child care? Head Start is enrolling!
