THANK YOU...
THANK YOU...
There are so many wonderful people we want to thank for their help in developing the RR program.
First we want to thank the Capital Area Intermediate Unit for giving us the seed money in the Innovation grant that led us to develop and begin to implement this project. Mark Hennes, was especially helpful in directing us on how to proceed once we received the grant. The support from our Supervisors, on this project, has also been extremely appreciated.
We are so grateful to Kim Alloway, Inclusion Coach, for Child Care Consultation, for the ELRC, for her support and guidance that has been invaluable.
We also want to thank all the people who have worked so hard in helping us develop a rich library of videos that should prove to be extremely helpful to our families and child care workers.
We cannot thank Irene Reedy, Project Manager, at the CAIU, enough for her joyful demeanor, her limitless energy and attention to detail, never mind her unrelenting patience and expertise as we developed our materials. It was only with her help that we were able to develop something that we could truly be proud of. We look forward to working with her on many future endeavors.
Finally, this project would not have been possible, without the support of Brandy Fox, Director of Cross Sector IEMH initiatives, The Pennsylvania Key. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
