Project FREE preschool, a program of the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM), has openings for children who will be four years of age by December 1.  Shelley Troup (left) and Sara McVannel are Project FREE’s certified lead teachers who focus on building students’ social and academic skills for a smooth transition into kindergarten through activities such as art, music, computer time, dramatic play and skill building.  Project FREE preschool is offered half days, Monday through Thursday, from October through May.  Although there is no cost to families, state eligibility requirements do exist.  For those not eligible for Project FREE, fee-based childcare and preschool services are available through the WRCNM’s Children’s Learning Center.  To learn more or register, call WRCNM Children’s Program Director, Nicole Wallesverd at 231-347-0067.
