Thankful for you!
As Thanksgiving draws near, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to say THANK YOU! We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the wonderful community of supporters who steadfastly support the children and families at Sewall. Thank you for all you do!
INCLUSION CORNER Teacher Shortage
Although research overwhelmingly emphasizes the importance of providing high-quality early childhood education, too often resources are not available to adequately fund early childhood programs. Educating preschoolers is every bit as complicated and important as educating any of the K-12 grades, and teachers and their relationships with young children and their families are the heart of any successful program. However, early childhood educators are facing a national crisis. Salaries lag drastically behind the salaries of traditional elementary school teachers and there is a need to train teachers on inclusive practices.

With you and all the amazing supporters by Sewall’s side, we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to continue to attract, retain, train, and support diverse groups of teachers to work in inclusive classrooms
