Parents,
Thank you for your support, for believing with us in the FPD mission, and for
making the effort to put your children here. Getting young children off to a
start that is developmentally appropriate for their ages and stages is vital in
building the foundation for life-long learners. A true blessing from above …
and we give God the glory!
All
is grace,
Wade
