Thank you so much Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation for coming to American Child and offering an eye screening test for our students.

We have firsthand seen the miraculous, and life changing results from this screening.

One year, we had the opportunity to have a 3 year old in our program who always seemed to have her face scrunched up into a scowl. Although she was loving and sweet, she could be very difficult at times and bad tempered. One of our teachers began to suspect that the child could not see well. She mentioned this to the parents; however, the parents continued to postpone taking the child to have her eyes tested.

When the Lions came for the annual screening, it was discovered that the child had cataracts that had given the girl extremely impaired vision.

Once the parents took her to have the cataracts removed, the child came back with no more scowl on her face and a new, happy disposition.

What a difference the Lions made in that child’s life! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Ms. Novella at our Shreveport location and Ms. Anita at our Greenwood location for making us such a yummy feast to share with our friends!
Thank you to our teachers and staff for helping the children make something cute to wear to our feast and for the love they show each child every day.
And thank you to our parents for sharing your children with us. We feel so grateful that we get to be a part of their childhood and see them grow.
We hope you each enjoy this season of gratitude and are blessed to get extra time with your family and loved ones!

We are so proud of Ms. Robin! Robin has been working hard to get her CDA. The Child Development Associate Credential is a national credential awarded to those who work with children and meet the highest professional standards in childcare. Robin took 120 extra hours of classes, was observed in the classroom and had to take the national test to achieve this certification. Good job Ms. Robin Maxwell!
