The Frankie Lemmon School was the first preschool-kindergarten in Wake County specifically designed for children with special education needs. The tuition-free developmental center has served children ages 3-6 who may have developmental delays, language impairments or learning disabilities since 1965. The school’s highly trained teaching staff provides children with an individualized educational e
xperience that places special emphasis on communication skills and personal independence. Children are enrolled at the school through a partnership between the Frankie Lemmon School and Wake County’s Public School’s Preschool Services. The Frankie Lemmon School works closely with the Frankie Lemmon Foundation, the fundraising arm of the school. Through fundraising and “friend-raising” events, the Foundation provides the school with the resources to offer the most specialized, therapeutic instruction for these children. As a Wake County Public School resource, approximately 40 percent of the school services are paid by state funding for developmental day centers. To provide the highest quality education to families, the Frankie Lemmon Foundation must account for other 60 percent each year. The Foundation raises these funds from special events, sponsorships and donations from individuals and corporations. Giving to the Frankie Lemmon Foundation allows children with special needs unprecedented opportunities.
