The Learning Ladder Child Care at the Clinton County Family YMCA is the recipient of a $100,000 grant received from “Early Learning Indiana.”
The Learning Ladder is very fortunate to have received this grant which will enable them to create extra seats for a 4-year-old class to help prepare community kids for kindergarten. “We are incredibly grateful for the generous gift of $100,000 from the Early Learning Indiana and their support of the YMCA. This grant will contribute to the success of the YMCA Learning Ladder mission and help us serve Clinton County families,” said Shan Sheridan, Board President of the Clinton County Family YMCA.
The Learning Ladder Child Care is an ideal place to nurture the potential of kids and to help prepare them for kindergarten. “High-quality early learning helps children get off to stronger starts in school ad in life,” said Maureen Weber, Early Learning Indiana president and CEO. “That’s why we are excited to help bring this once in a lifetime opportunity to help more Clinton County families through this investment in the YMCA’s Learning Ladder Child Care.”
At the Y,a supportive group of networking partners in child development plays a huge role in the well being of children. “This special gift will help improve education to pre-K youth in Clinton County by providing the necessary learning space for programs and activities that promote proper development at early ages,” said Paul Cramer, Interim Director of the Clinton County Family YMCA.
