Senator DiDomenico celebrates funding for local early education facilities

DiDomenico’s 2013 legislation started the fund that made this investment possible

This September, State Senator Sal DiDomenico visited East Boston Social Centers to celebrate new funding they received from the Healey-Driscoll Administration that focuses on improving early education and out-of-schooltime facilities throughout the Commonwealth. In 2013, a bill by Senator DiDomenico – An Act improving quality in early education care centers – helped start this fund to ensure that there will be resources available to improve and repair early education facilities in Massachusetts.

In his remarks Senator DiDomenico said, “This organization provides critical early education services to families throughout my district, and I couldn’t be prouder to have played a part in ensuring they get the financial support they need.”

DiDomenico was joined by Early Education & Care Commissioner Amy Kershaw, Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler, State Representative Adrian Madaro and East Boston Social Centers leaders and staff. East Boston Social Centers was one of 20 organizations across the state that received capital funding to renovate early education and out-of-school time program facilities that serve primarily low-income families.
