Grenada Children’s & Family
Services 2013-14 Directory
FIRST ANNUAL ISSUE
Compliments of the Mississippi Children’s Collaborative (MCC) in Partnership with Grenada Community Foundation (GCF)
Dear Neighbors,
This first Directory is a labor of love, celebrating
our transformation of Grenada County into a
center of excellence in early childhood development by supporting children, families, and our
County’s many resources dedicated to improving their lives.
We hope you will keep it, use it, enjoy
and add to it, correct it and brag about it. We
know it is far from perfect. Please send any
corrections, additions (and donations!) to
[email protected] or call (662) 7920002. Thank you all.
Onward!
The Grenada Community Foundation Board
Our thanks to these Donors who along with
others are helping to make our First Annual
GCF Directory a success!

Betch’ya didn’t know:
• Each of us is born with 100 billion
neurons – just waiting to connect.
• A three-year-old’s brain is twice
as active as that of an adult.
•
By age three, we’ve acquired 2/3
of the language we’ll use as adults.

• Early bonding with parents nurtures
our ability to relate to others—not
just in the first few hours, days or
weeks—but over the entire, first year.
• Language precedes thought—the
more language, the more thought.
A child cannot think without words.

“It didn’t take me long to realize that
the ‘troublemakers’ weren’t bad kids—
just frustrated because they couldn’t
read or write, nor handle basic
arithmetic. Having raised my own
5 children to love reading, I hadn’t
known that children could reach third
grade without being able to read. It
broke my heart.”
