"I cannot fathom how anyone could consider closing such a pivotal and exemplary program"

My two kids, now ages 10 and 13, still talk about how much they loved going to preschool. They have lasting memories of their loving teachers, working in the garden, feeding the goats, sleeping in tents at the camp outs... There is no place more magical for toddlers and preschoolers to grow and thrive. I still treasure the pictures and painstakingly curated evidence of learning from their conference reports. I cannot fathom how anyone could consider closing such a pivotal and exemplary program.
