Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten students grow into high school graduates

It has been exciting to watch the pomp and circumstance, in celebration of graduating high schoolers that dedicated so much to achieving this big step.

Our Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten students are celebrating too, as they move into the next chapter of their scholastic careers more prepared to excel in the classroom and life.

A study from the National Institutes of Health concluded that adults from low-income families who had engaged in early-education programs achieved higher education levels than peers that received alternate interventions. They also had higher incomes, lower rates of serious crime and lower rates of depression.
