More at Four worked


More at Four helped Beth Palmer's twins to overcome a speech problem.

Her twin sons were hard for most people to understand. The result is that they were shy and reluctant to be with other children, Palmer, 40, told House members at a budget public hearing.

Palmer, of Raleigh, said her children got help with the speech problem in the More at Four program. The Senate has proposed cutting More at Four, part of a move to eventually merge it with the Smart Start program. 

"Since being at More at Four the have blossomed into little chatter boxes," Palmer said.

How did our little children survive and make it through kindergarten before More at Four and Smart Start and every other government program?

Re: More at Four worked

That's very nice and I would love free childcare for my four year old as well but since we are cutting the salary to state employees who have jobs that are necessary for the state to function it may be time to trim some of the extras.
