Matthew and his parents benefit from the Early Steps to School Success program

Thank you for helping ensure that Matthew has a fair chance at a brighter future. Matthew’s teenage mother signed him up for Early Steps to School Success in Jackson, Kentucky when he was six months old. Both Matthew’s and his parent’s skills have developed since then — the program has made Matthew’s parents dedicated to providing him with a strong foundation for learning. Both parents participate in the visits and they have set a consistent reading schedule. As young parents, they are inexperienced but they are learning and excited about the challenges before them. Matthew’s mom, Charlene said, “Because of this program, I know the importance of playing with my child, and the cues to look for.” ESSS is a resource for families like Matthew’s to develop a strong foundation for learning in their children. Thank you MSAF, Alyce and Victor for your kindness.
