A Stepping Stone Foundation

July 1 - Cindy Gattorna, Executive Director for A Stepping Stone Foundation described the history, mission, and programs of the Foundation. The Foundation began in 1990 and it's overall goal is to educate two generations together. Families qualify if the parents have not graduated from high school or have English as a second language. Parents must participate a minimum of 32 hours per month and they receive training in a multitude of subjects including child development, creative discipline, and use of technology. The families have to agree to one home visit per month. The children attend pre-school at age 3 and age 4 in preparation for entrance to kindergarten. Cindy told us of many success stories and said that the program hopes to expand into more school districts. Click here to explore their web site and learn more about their work.
