Early childhood development is the foundation for healthy and successful students.  With this in mind, Say Yes Buffalo has partnered with Niagara University and Help Me Grow WNY in an effort to prepare students for success starting off in Kindergarten.  Services are provided to Buffalo Public School Pre-Kindergarten & Kindergarten students and families including free developmental screenings, connections to community resources and child developmental information.
