A Note from Our CEO
Greetings!
Last week, I watched as 20 of our four-year-olds crossed the stage at their promotion ceremony. Our yard was full - more than 100 parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all there to celebrate this first educational milestone.
I have known some of these children since they were born. I heard about their first steps and their first words. And now, they are ready to leave the safety of LEAP and embark on their educational journey.
When they marched up to the stage, sang for the audience, and proudly received their certificates, they showed us their independence and their readiness for what's next. I know our children are prepared for TK and Kindergarten.
Building a sense of competency, self-sufficiency, and independence is vital to everything we do at LEAP - with children, with their parents, and with our Family Resource Center families. We work every day to develop the skills people need to reach their goals, whether that's a four-year-old ready for kindergarten or a parent ready to take their next step forward.
Watching these children walk across that stage, independent and ready, reminded me why this work matters so much.
Congratulations to our graduates. We can't wait to hear about all you'll accomplish.
Warmly,
Lori Lander Goodman
Chief Executive Officer
