Northwest Bank recently made a $4,000 contribution to Rainbow Corner Preschool, which is part of CARE for Children.

The preschool is an approved Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship Organization, through the State of Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).  

Norm Strotman, senior vice president, regional commercial lender at Northwest Bank, visited with Rainbow Corner Preschool students at the Ashley Booth Griffin CARE for Children Center on Friday. Pictured from left are Sena Noguchi, Strotman, Emma Carey, and Kimberly Engstrom, M.Ed., CARE preschool director.

Noguchi, 5, is the daughter of Yuko and Tomofumi Noguchi of Bradford and Carey, 5, is the daughter of Patrick and Kathi Carey of Bradford.

Contributions made through the EITC program help CARE provide tuition to eligible Pre-K students to attend preschool, making early learning more accessible and affordable for working families. Northwest Bank’s contribution will help fund scholarships for the 2019-2020 school year.
