“I had a great experience with United Way from start to finish.”

Phil MartinezA Cool Agency

“At the beginning of a kindergarten readiness program, a mom stated that her son knew his numbers (1-
20) and was very good at math. After participating in the counting games, she realized he knew his
numbers but did not fully understand what they represented. The program showed her the importance
of playing this game and others like it at home. These activities will help her son tremendously in school.”
