“We were fortunate enough to keep our doors open through a pandemic but not without it costing us in material ways. Thanks to UWS we now have the updated curriculum for our infant/toddlers and many more updated materials on the way. We cannot express enough the gratitude we have for the United Way Suncoast.”
