Discussing My Itinerary

This morning, Chunk and I stretched out across the floor, looking at a huge, cartoon atlas he got from his grandparents. We had it open to a double-paged view of the United States, each state showing capitals and large cities, as well as little drawings of what you can expect to find in each location.

He quickly pointed out Denver, telling me that was where he lived. I showed him Minnesota, where we visited last summer. He found Mount Rushmore and told me about the "faces." I stretched my arm out and pointed to Kentucky.

"That's where I'm going today," I told him.

"You're going to work?" he asked.

"Yep. I have to work way over there," I answered.

He turned to me and asked, "Can I go with you?"

How can you say no to something like that?

Aren't atlases great? You go ahead and sneak him on the plane.

Denver Dad,

My name is Dan Schaller, and I work for an organization known as the Denver Preschool Program (DPP). We are always on the lookout for new ways to get the word out about our program, and I was wondering if you might be willing to post a brief overview of our organization on your blog. It seems like you attract a good volume of parents with young children, and I think many of them would be interested in what we have to offer. If you're willing, here's the posting we were hoping for:

To all Denver dads (and moms):

If you’ve got a preschool-aged child that you’re looking to get enrolled in a quality preschool program, then you should check out the Denver Preschool Program (DPP) at www.dpp.org. Created in 2007 as the result of a voter-approved ballot initiative, the DPP makes preschool more affordable for Denver’s families by providing financial assistance to families with children in their last year of preschool before kindergarten. Why is quality preschool important? Recent studies show that nearly 80% of brain development occurs before the age of five. Even more notable is that Colorado kindergarten teachers report that one out of every three children enters kindergarten unprepared to learn. Quality preschool helps create the foundation for future success, and quality is just what the DPP is after. The higher the quality the preschool a family chooses, the greater the degree of financial assistance they receive. Additionally, DPP incentivizes preschools to improve their quality through both a four-star rating system and quality improvement grants. Currently, over 4,500 Denver families are involved in the program. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your family the next! It is, after all, a win-win-win situation: you choose, we pay, and your child reaps the benefits!

To find DPP preschools in your area and to figure out the amount of financial assistance you qualify for, check out our website at www.dpp.org. Further questions? Call us at 303.595.4DPP (4377).
