“Crispus Attucks Children’s Center announced today it has received a $50,000 grant from the Boston Foundation to provide life-changing early childhood education for children whose families are low-income but are not able to access a voucher or subsidy through the commonwealth or city, including children of recent immigrants.
“ ‘This grant will allow us to offer high quality early education for families we would not otherwise be able to serve,’ Executive Director Amanda Gorner said today. ‘These resources are important as we continue our work to make sure every child gets the best possible start in school and life to help them reach their full potential.’
“ ‘For years, the Boston Foundation and our research partners have highlighted the importance of access to quality early childhood education on the lives of young children and their caregivers,’ said Orlando Watkins, Vice President and Chief Program Officer at the Boston Foundation. ‘It has also shown the need to support providers, and to make care available to far more families. We are proud to partner with Crispus Attucks Children’s Center and recognize its half-century of meeting vital needs in Boston with this Safety Net Grant.’ â€
