Senator Johnson awards grant to Family Service League

Senator Owen Johnson recently awarded a $100,000 grant to Family Service League to help construct a preschool that will serve 300 4 year olds from the Brentwood School District. The preschool will be housed in the new Community Center of the Iovino South Shore Family Center in Bay Shore. The preschool has been in operation since September using various offices and conference rooms that have been adapted and redecorated to accommodate the children until the new construction is complete.

Scientists, educators and economists who have analyzed the result of long term studies agree that preschool training especially for children from low income families yield considerable dividends for families and society. Senator Johnson's support of Family Service League's preschool will provide generations of children with a foundation for success.
