[The money was] for two purposes. One, to help us operate our early childhood program and second, to help us build this beautiful building. |
We feel we can make the greatest impact among young children. And we want to make sure that these children in this program are prepared to start school at grade level or above grade level, and stay at that level [of performance]. |
What we want to do is offer educational programs that help prepare children to do well in life and adults to get better employment. And that's what Ave Maria is looking for. We're partners. |
