H.R. No. 201 is a resolution congratulating the Great Beginnings Early Childhood Center at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Harlingen for receiving Texas Rising Star certification from the Texas Workforce Commission. This certification recognizes child care programs that meet high standards of compliance with state regulations, and Great Beginnings, which serves children aged six weeks to three years, exemplifies this commitment to quality. Under the leadership of director Carla Wisdom, the center offers a faith-based program that includes chapel services, meals, and instructional activities, utilizing the Frog Street Curriculum that aligns with state and federal educational standards.
The resolution acknowledges the significant role that Great Beginnings plays in providing a strong foundation for young Texans and commends the dedication of its administrators and staff. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' best wishes for the center's continued success and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard for the program. The resolution was adopted by the House on March 13, 2025.
