Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 2

“We added 2 new program activities. 1. English classes for parents whose children attend the new castle head start claymont center. After dropping off their children to their head start class, parents go to their own classroom at the center. Classes were once a week for one hour. In september 2023, classes will meet twice a week for two hours each session. 2. We added an americorps program, the adult literacy team ("a-team"). This first year, five part-time members each gave 900 hours tutoring, teaching classes, assessing, and registering new learners, and engaging in community awareness and advocacy activities.”
