Florence Fuller Child Development Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children from economically challenged families with the goal of preparing children for a lifetime commitment to learning and empowering their families to build a brighter future, through education, employment assistance, and a powerful support system of teachers and staff that truly care. We believe every child should have the chance to learn, grow, and experience success in school and life regardless of their ability to pay.
Reading is the foundation for learning and yet, too many children enter school without the basic skills they need to learn to read. Research has shown that children learn best when they are engaged and having fun. BMO employees will read age appropriate books to the pre-school classrooms. This will take place through a live setting, books will not be pre-recorded. Desired timeframe is between 9:45-11:45 for 30-45 minutes.
