Preparing At-Risk Children for Life.
Every child deserves a chance to bloom and succeed in life. However, for the families who live in Piedmont Courts/Belmont, home to one of Charlotte’s oldest housing projects, the odds are against them. Plagued by high rates of poverty, violent crime, drug abuse and unemployment, this area is considered to be one of the most at-risk neighborhoods in Charlotte. But, thanks to the vision and hard work of many, there is a ray of hope.

Created in 1987 in a joint effort between Seigle Avenue Presbyterian Church and the Junior League of Charlotte, Seigle Avenue Preschool Cooperative is a unique facility serving children and parents alike. Currently, there are 40 preschoolers and 34 families participating. Two, three and four-year olds receive a balanced, high-quality education. Just as importantly, parents are trained, giving the entire family tools for a better life.

The Seigle Avenue Preschool Cooperative is a highly successful program. However, as a tuition-free program, the Preschool needs ongoing financial and volunteer support.
That’s where people like Dan Ogburn- – and you – play an important role. Together we can take steps to help the families of Piedmont Courts/Belmont reach their fullest potential. |
