Journey of a Mom with Multiples 
That is wonderful! Hoping we can increase our numbers as well. We have a very limited amount of children that get to attend head start or preschool programs. The ones attending go for a half a day and then when they reach kindergarten, it is full time. With every thing the children need to learn according to standards, I have often wondered how they learned every thing going half days.
