FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Merritt Island, FL (October 23, 2023) – Launch Learning Preschool is pleased to announce it has received a generous grant from the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation.
Launch Learning will use this funding to add valuable art supplies to expand its current art program, allowing the school to creatively and effectively offer arts education that crosses all educational domains: cognitive, language, social, emotional, and physical. In addition to emphasizing arts education during the school day, Launch Learning is committed to educating and offering opportunities for families to extend students’ educational experiences in their home environments. This generous funding from the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation will help make that a reality for families on the Space Coast.
“We are humbled by the generosity of the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation and know that this grant will have an immediate impact on our early learners. We are looking forward to partnering to grow arts education for the families of Brevard County. We are truly thankful to the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation for investing in Launch Learning so that we may create powerful and lasting impacts by inspiring a lifelong love of learning,” said Launch Learning Executive Director Jonnah Buchanan.
Launch Learning understands the importance of arts education, particularly the benefits it has on the youngest students. Arts education is crucial to cognitive growth and development and lays a foundation for all future learning. Moreover, Launch Learning is committed to opening arts education opportunities to its families to pursue at home, knowing that when families are included in educational opportunities, students benefit greatly. By empowering parents to extend educational concepts confidently at home, families and communities become stronger and more committed to lifelong learning.
