Investing in Young Children is Important
Research suggests that 90 percent of brain growth is developed by the age of five. To help young children experience the best possible learning environment, they need nurturing teachers who have a background in early childhood education and developmentally appropriate child care settings in which to grow and learn.
Your donation will help our coalition provide services to over 10,000 children each year, which include the following services:
- Child Development Screenings
- Inclusion Services
- Child Development Assessments
- Teacher Scholarships
- School Readiness Program for eligible families at no cost to families
- Voluntary Prekindergarten Program to all 4 year olds at no cost to families
