The University of Miami Debbie Institute has received outstanding services from Family Central through the Teachers and Literacy for Kids (T.A.L.K.) Program, Quality Counts, and APPLE Accreditation. Through the professional guidance of Linda Smith and Miriam Masia our teachers greatly improved their abilities to communicate successfully with young children and to use music and movement to stimulate language development. We were able to complete the APPLE Accreditation process successfully as a direct result of the skilled leadership of Lynda Ariyan. Her support made the process enjoyable. In addition, we have greatly appreciated the technical support provided by Wendy Gordon for our particpation in Quality Counts. She has been an inspiration to the members of our staff. Overall, we have found your staff to exemplary professionals. It has been a pleasure to work with them.
