an increasingly challenging academic environment. Big Dreams will
provide professional tutoring in an effort to prepare the parents and
children for school.
Crosswind entered a partnership with the Alliance and the School district to launch Big Dreams, a on-campus "teacher to parent" program where teachers coach moms on pre-K at home learning strategies.
