“We are so excited to be able to open our doors to more children who can really benefit from a quality early education experience. We know there are many children in our community who are not receiving quality pre-kindergarten now, and this Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts grant will make it possible for us to provide 80 of these children with quality pre-kindergarten. Having worked in early education for 13 years, I’ve seen the difference quality early education can make to a child’s performance and outlook on life. With our Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts grant, we can afford to give these children a high quality experience†says Cheryl Tuturice, Senior Director of Child Care Services, Family YMCA of Easton, Phillipsburg & Vicinity.
