LIFE Audrey Johnson Learning Center Feels the Warmth of the Season

“I woke up feeling grateful and appreciating Broadway Stages,” Julie Dent, Executive Site Director, LIFE Audrey Johnson Learning Center.

LIFE Audrey Johnson Learning Center has been providing free and low cost pre-k day care programs for economically disadvantaged children in Bushwick, Brooklyn for over 45 years.  A highly regarded early learning center, they have collaborated with New York University, Colombia University, Bank Street and Weill-Cornell to bring a variety of educational programs to support and instruct their teachers and staff to help ensure they provide their students with current, engaging and developmentally appropriate education.  Their well-rounded program includes healthy eating education and physical fitness for the children.  But sometimes there is more that their children need and when we hear from Julie Dent, Executive Site Director, we are thrilled to help however we can. This year we were able to share the spirit of the season with a donation of coats for children in need.  It fills our hearts to be able to give the gift of warmth, to put a smile on the face of a child and to let them know that their community cares about them.  A special thank you to LIFE Learning Centers for their support of our pre-school age children. You can find more information about LIFE, Inc. and the four learning centers available throughout Brooklyn.  Happy Holidays. Stay safe and healthy!
