The Wilson-Wood Foundation recently awarded a grant of $15,000 to Safe Children Coalition (SCC) for its HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) program. The grant will help area families with young children to prepare their children for success in school … and beyond. This is the eighth year that the Wilson-Wood Foundation has provided support – totaling $120,000 – for the HIPPY program. The HIPPY program helps parents to provide educational enrichment for preschool-age children and is designed to remove barriers to participation in education. The program is offered to all participants free of charge so that disadvantaged children can enjoy future success; the goals of HIPPY are consistent with the mission of the Wilson-Wood Foundation, which aims to do good deeds in health, education, and human services.
