Erin wasn't convinced that early childhood education was important until she sent her two children, Jaxon and Jaydon, to an early childcare center. United Way pre-K scholarships helped them attend preschool. “I am a true believer that things happen for a reason,” said Erin. “I financially cannot afford it and this scholarship has made it possible for my children to obtain and early education. They are able to grasp and learn a lot more and work in teams. I have seen it make a difference in the lives of my children.”
