Wayne Preno is the founder and owner of two Early and Bright Childcare Centers in the Philadelphia region. He wants to serve the underprivileged children of his communities and give them a leg up on their education.
Studies have shown that children who participate in early childhood education are more likely to enroll in college and have greater success later on in life. This is especially true with minority children. Preno sees this early childhood education as being one of the best investments a parent can make in their child’s education because it will set up the next twelve years of school. This is the first opportunity for children to spend time away from the nuclear family unit and interact with a completely different environment. His childcare centers expose children to math, reading, and social skills that are needed in the classroom setting. His curriculum is optimized to enrich his student’s environment in a fun and entertaining setting. The parents of Preno’s students are happy with their children's development and see improvement at home.
Preno wants to be seen as a role model for the community. He believes that his work with his early childcare centers will inspire other people to help improve their community. Preno wholeheartedly believes in the saying “it takes a village to raise a child.” As he continues to help young children in Philadelphia prepare themselves for school, Preno will continue to be integral to the community. In the long run, Wayne Preno wants his kids to come back to the community and inspire a new generation of children.
