Bright Beginnings
As part of the Holiday, Jan/Elan/and I visited with Washington DC's Bright Beginnings Program today. Executive Director Betty Jo Gaines explained that the center could use more resources (time & money). What a worthwhile place. The center offers a safe haven to 84 preschoolers that all come from really bad situations.
Here's the link for more info. and to help.
Bright beginnings is a developmental child care center for homeless preschoolers whose families are in crisis shelters or transitional housing in Washington, DC.
The center offers free, full-day, year-round, and developmentally- appropriate care for approximately 100 children aged six weeks to five years old. As one of two child care centers in the District of Columbia that offers free care to homeless children, Bright Beginnings is alleviating a desperate community shortage.
