early childhood development
Tragically, many thousands of children living on the Peninsula lack what is considered to be the most basic building blocks in their early years to succeed in public education and to be more likely to grow and experience a prosperous life while being a productive member of the community.

This is why we invite caring people like yourself who want to be a part of the difference these children deserve. |
