Gale A. Brewer

Thank you very much.

Gale A. Brewer

First of all, Ms.

Gale A. Brewer

Phillips, thank you because you answer emails.

Gale A. Brewer

I was very impressed.

Gale A. Brewer

I don't know you, but all of a sudden I say she answers emails at all hours of the day and night.

Gale A. Brewer

I like that.

Gale A. Brewer

I went recently to something in East Harlem.

Gale A. Brewer

I happened to just pop in.

Gale A. Brewer

I'm known for showing up everywhere, and I do.

Gale A. Brewer

I didn't know what the hell the event was.

Gale A. Brewer

It said something about child care.

Gale A. Brewer

It was phenomenal.

Gale A. Brewer

It was Robin Hood paying for unbelievable...

Gale A. Brewer

Development for providers.

Gale A. Brewer

So my question is, are some of these individuals who are providing part of that program, that program is phenomenal.

Gale A. Brewer

So I just was wondering that, because my question is, what are your goals for the development of this program?

Gale A. Brewer

You've got early language, you've got literacy, you've got school readiness.

Gale A. Brewer

And so how are you going to know if you're achieving these goals?

Gale A. Brewer

Obviously, with training like that, it would help a lot.

Gale A. Brewer

So I'm wondering about the training for the teachers and Robin Hood in particular.
