Good morning, Parents:
We want to let you know there is a power outage affecting three of our campuses in southeast Little Rock - Mann, Rockefeller, and Carver-Washington. Entergy crews are already on-site working to fix the problem. While we don’t yet have an exact time for when power will be restored, crews expect to have it back on soon.

"NAEYC accreditation significantly boosts kindergarten readiness, with children in accredited programs showing superior cognitive, language, and social skills."

"Los centros acreditados cierran brechas de rendimiento académico, garantizando igualdad en el desempeño sin importar ingresos o etnia."
