Hope is in the Air!
This spring season, we dare to hope. It’s a feeling that is in full bloom this spring, even amid the challenges that many families in our community face.
The early childhood heroes in our community give us hope. There are so many people who believe, like we do, that every child should enter kindergarten happy, healthy, and eager to learn. You are here because you make the future bright for our children.
To the barrier-breakers, the nurturers, and the magic makers. This page celebrates YOU. Thank you for bringing hope, opportunity, and joy to our community’s 0-5 little ones.
Ready to pass it forward?

Thank You,
Early Childhood Heroes!
