Today is #RedNoseDay a celebration of access for all children to the fundamentals of life with an emphasis on "fun". Providing all children worldwide with the essential tools they need for success in life and school including; healthy food, school safety and education.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Deputy Director of Early Childhood, Ellen Frede is spearheading a movement to expand effective and affordable preschool for all children.
"We now know that high quality preschool, often called pre-K, can be provided at large scale and still be effective at improving children’s school success. Because pre-K is so important to creating lifelong benefits, we are passionate about expanding opportunities for young children to access high-quality, effective and affordable preschool education." Dr. Ellen Frede, May 20, 2015 Impatient Optimist Blog.
Today is a very special day indeed! My granddaughter Harlow Marie graduated from Pre-K and her school held a beautiful celebration of the event. Her teachers emphasized the importance of family, education and developing social skills. Hip Hip Hooray for the graduating class of 2015.
