The School Foundation fundraises for and helps support Florence 1, and director Debbie Hyler said early childhood education is one of the organization’s top priorities because there is such a need in the community and it yields better results for students down the road.
“When they start off behind, they stay behind and require remediation later,” Hyler said. “It is critical when you hear that children of poverty have heard 30 million fewer words by the time they’re 4 and that’s difficult to compensate for later on because that’s the time when brains develop and neurons are connecting.”
