March Notes from Peggy
Despite the snow last month, there is a lot going on!
Congratulations to ALIVE!’s Child Development Center for achieving a 4 star rating in Virginia’s Star Quality Initiative. This initiative recognizes quality childcare programs committed to continuous improvement.
Read on to find out more about how this Initiative helps parents identify quality childcare near them and just how significant an accomplishment this rating is for the ALIVE Child Development Center, recipient of a Giving Circle Developmental Grant.
Take a moment to learn about the work Giving Circle member, Sherry Delaney, is doing with The Safety Net Project. The Safety Net Project is a program of her own creation and based on a philosophy similar to that of our Giving Circle. This is an inspiring story, so grab a cup of tea and scroll down to find out more.
