“Reading to the Growing Together Preschool children feeds my soul each week. I am energized by their delight and inspired by the gains they make as the year goes along. The time I spend with the preschoolers also feels like a good investment—in each child, but also in our community.
When I was studying education in college, I did a research paper on the benefits of preschool education. The research is unequivocal: high quality preschool education benefits children, but also benefits society socially and economically. While I was more suited to teach high school, I have always had a passion for promoting preschool education because it makes so much sense for all of us. Supporting Kathy’s amazing work at Growing Together Preschool to prepare children for kindergarten is time well-spent.” Anne Cooper
