Welcome to School Year 2023-2024!

How is FACE making a difference?

The FACE Program, is a crucial program because we are finding that many of our kids are coming in and prepared for kindergarten. We are finding that parents are believing that it is our job only to educate their children. So, we are trying to establish parents as partners in their education with their child.
