Hi,
My name is Edgar and I work with DrugRehab.com, a web resource that provides information and support to people fighting substance abuse and addiction.
In an effort to raise awareness about substance abuse and addiction, we have created a guide that we feel every parent should have in order to educate themselves, as well as their children about this issue.
I believe that our guide would be a great addition to the resources on your page; https://lifespanchildcare.org/for-our-parents/links-for-more-information/.
Please feel free to review our guide:

They thought that other people (and possibly other Girl Scout Troops) would find it as helpful as they did! I was hesitant to email at first, but the girls have been asking me if I have emailed you about it yet. (haha they’re so cute!) Thanks again and please let me know if you include it…they would be delighted to see it up!
Have a fantastic day Mary

Quality early learning is crucial to our children’s intellectual, social and emotional development. The benefits that children and families experience from quality early learning opportunities extend to all of our communities, making it possible for parents to work and build a stable family structure for their children. In addition, by increasing our children’s success in school and in life we will create a stronger workforce and tax base.
Programs that increase access to quality early learning, such as those administered by Pennsylvania’s Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) and its partners, are a vital part of Pennsylvania’s overall goal to make the commonwealth an attractive place to live and work.
