Purple Moose Enrichment Preschool

Purple Moose Enrichment Preschool has successfully continued to expand its reach of providing early childhood education to an area of McHenry County that is still very short in programs available. We are continuing to add families from the areas of McHenry and Woodstock that are in high need of the care. We added twelve new families for whom we were previously out of radius. Purple Moose Enrichment Preschool has continued to grow its fundraising efforts to create a scholarship fund for families that are not able to pay for preschool otherwise. We continued to offer a separate scholarship offering for the staff, to encourage training and professional growth. With the expansion of our fundraising we have been able to offer our families more scholarships and continue sharing our mission of growing the opportunity to offer the preschool experience to families that may otherwise have to forgo this important developmental opportunity. Likewise, there was much positive feedback on supporting the opportunity for the teachers to take part in trainings that are outside their budgets, but will continue to make significant improvement in the quality of learning. This year we continued to extend the tuition scholarship program to our families. The total benefit of the scholarship was $8700. We hope to continue growint this efort in the next school year. The benefit for staff scholarships this year was $1600. In the next school year, we once again hope to grow this amount.
