Read through an interview with The Roberts Family whose lives have changed thanks to EOCF’s preschool programs and family support services.
“We grew up in a low-income household with many other family members, my mother instilled in me the importance of being involved in my school and community at a young age. I hope to do the same by being an advocate for my child and others in her classroom.”
