Brief Overview of F.A.C.E.:
F.A.C.E = Family Advisory Committee for Early Childhood Education
It is a vital part of the program because we believe that parents must be involved in the education of their children. Serving on this advisory council is just one of the ways parents can be involved.
We welcome any parent who would like to serve in this capacity.
