OLMSTED’S EARLY EDUCATION PROGRAM RECEIVES GRANT
The Olmsted Center for Sight’s Early Education Program (formerly VIP) has been awarded a two year grant through the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation (Tower Foundation). This grant allows the Early Education Program to find and train two individuals to become Teachers of the Visually Impaired which, historically has been a service in great demand.
As an agency that predominantly focuses on visual impairments and blindness, this is a large step towards being able to stand out in the community as the premier leader in vision services for children ages 0 through 5.
Congratulations are in order for those that put a lot of time and effort into making this award possible. Please acknowledge Teresa Doermer, Director of the Early Education Program; Melissa Schwab, Teacher of the Visually Impaired, Thomas J Constantine, Controller, Carol Nowak, Grant Writer; and of course our President, Dr. Ron Maier.
