Brenda Pleasants and Nakita Bellamy

Congratulations to Brenda Pleasants and Nakita Bellamy for their success in identifying children for the Early and Pre-School programs that qualified for special needs services. In both Early and Pre-School CCAP exceeded historic numbers in the identification and enrollment of children--and for Pre-School entered in the triple digits for the first time.
"By identifying these children we are able to provide the child with extra educational support and it helps catch up in areas where they might be delayed," says Brenda Pleasant, Special Needs Coordinator.
