My child actually participates in this program & he's so very well. His instructor comes by every other week (she brings 2 weeks worth of curriculum) and my son and I have "homework" time and he thinks he's so grown!! :) I'll definitely donate some things & I think everyone should. Dothan doesn't have a lot of FREE programs so we should help this program out.
