“Peggy is a lifesaver!  As a new Health Coordinator (also new to the Head Start world), she was invaluable to my training.  Because of her, I was able to grasp the core fundamentals and importance of my job and I was able to effect change months, and maybe even years, faster than I would have without her profound knowledge.“  

Melissa Miller,
Health, Safety, Nutrition Coordinator, Wyoming Child and Family Development

Starting out as a new Health Coordinator for Denise Louie Education Center, Early Head Start was not an easy task. Thankfully, from the beginning I have had Peggy as our nurse consultant to help walk me through the process. Peggy is easy to communicate and work with! She is always readily available to answer any questions that I have and does it with amazing promptness. Being able to work one on one with Peggy has given me the opportunity to learn and grow within Early Head Start, particularly within the health and safety areas.

Peggy consistently puts in 100% of her dedication and time to ensure that all kids in our program are healthy and safe whether it is within their home environments or during group socializations. It has been a pleasure working with Peggy and her commitment to our program is absolutely admirable.

“Peggy King has been an exceptional resource and valued community member for our school and the families we serve.  Her knowledge and expertise ensure that we are meeting all health & safety guidelines and Head Start Performance Standards, while her character allows for the information to be transmitted clearly, even amongst diverse populations.  When our program has health & safety questions, she is the first person we call.  We are incredibly lucky to have her services!”
