my name is christine morris. my husband and i live in the inner richmond with our two sons, who are four and 1.5 years old. we live eight minutes away from stretch. we are so glad it is available to us. preschool can be extremely daunting and stressful. we realized early on that there are very few options for this program. stretch is one of them. our son has an april birthday and was not able to go to school until he was almost three and a half. as people who have children know, once they are two or 2.5, it is hard to keep them stimulated and socialized with just the family. they need to be in some type of school program. my son enjoyed the program and is currently in preschool at stretch. we hope our second son, trevor, will start in the fall. it is a wonderful program that michelle eloquently explained, a small, home-like environment with caring, nurturing teachers. it is really wonderful. we hope that with the expansion, more children will be able to experience stretch. thank you. president thank you. >> good
