BOCA RATON – Here they come and there is no denying it, they’re ready!
Florence Fuller Child Development Centers announces that its Pre-K students have graduated and are moving onto kindergarten.
Recent graduation ceremonies took place at FAU’s University Theater with a packed house of beaming parents and family members. Walking the official walk FFCDC’s past graduates have done for 39 years, 126 5-year olds dressed in traditional, albeit miniature, caps and gowns received their diplomas.
Front, from left, are Thomas Ehrbar, Lorry Herdeen and Doug Paton. At center is Derick Bonilla.
Statistics prove that without a quality early learning program such as FFCDC, children begin school behind their peers and never catch up. FFCDC’s programs are made possible by the support of donors and community supporters, who want to ensure that children, regardless of their socio-economic background, start school ready and on par with their more economically advantaged classmates.
Nearing four decades, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers have provided childcare and family support services for economically disadvantaged families. The center’s mission is to empower these families to succeed and to prepare the children for a lifetime of positive learning.
