ROBERT, La. (AP) Josalyn Brown Robinson began her educational journey as a 4-year-old at North Tangi Head Start in Roseland.
Years later, she has been chosen to lead the non-profit organization that oversees all the Head Start and Early Head Start programs in Southeast Louisiana. Over the years, these programs have helped shape thousands of families’ lives, including her own.
Josalyn Brown Robinson, PhD, replaced Dr. Susan Spring as the executive director of Regina Coeli Child Development Center. Spring retired in late May after 23 years of service.
U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy visited campus this morning to join in the grand opening of the new Southeastern Head Start & Early Head Start building.
Part of the Regina Coeli Child Development Center, Southeastern Head Start is a program dedicated to providing quality education and care services for local youth. After receiving approval for a $1 million grant in 2019, the program began to collaborate with the senator’s office to aid the next generation of future leaders.
The Louisiana senator cut the ceremonial ribbon and toured the new facility on May 5, pledging to continue providing the assistance needed to fulfill the program’s mission.
