THIS HAS ENABLED US TO SERVE ALMOST 200 CHILDREN BETWEEN THE TWO LOCATIONS. THE CENTER CONTINUES TO BE ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN SERVING INFANTS THROUGH PRE-K4. THE CENTER QUALIFIED AND RECEIVED A HIGH PERFORMANCE STIPEND FROM THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER OF BROWARD COUNTY.
