Taneisha Watkins joined First Steps’ Parents as Teachers program because she wanted to be sure that her two-year-old son, Grayson, would be ready for school. She says that she also found a friend in Melody DeLisa (right), lead parent educator at Charleston County First Steps. “She’s loving, she’s kind,” Taneisha says. “She’s great with Grayson, and with me.” After just one year of engagement with Charleston County First Steps, Grayson transitioned out of early intervention services into full-day 3-year-old kindergarten.
