We are welcoming many returning students - as well as women and children who are new to Caroline House - to their first week of the 2014-2015 school year. Women are arriving prepared to learn and improve their English language and life skills to make a positive difference in their own lives… and inspire them to “pay it forward” to help their families and communities.
All school children enjoy a field trip and a different type of learning experience. The Caroline House preschoolers are no exception. On April 24, 2014, a busload of children and their mothers visited the Bronx Zoo. This trip was due to the generosity of St. Luke’s Parish of Westport and its parishioners.
Jean Fredricks, Caroline House Preschool Director, said, “This is the seventh time we have been able to visit the Bronx Zoo through the generosity of St. Luke’s and many other benefactors. The Bronx Zoo trip is the highlight of our school year, and the children enjoy and learn so much from their visit. Most importantly, our mothers enjoy the excitement of a family outing. This is a trip that most of our women could not afford on their own; and for many women, it is their first time visiting a zoo.”
