The Fay Landrum Academy And Child Development Center Pre-K-8 The Landrum Foundation
¡° I have always had a firm belief that education is critical to the future success of our children; and that each of them deserves the best quality education we can manufacture. If you stimulate a child¡¯s academic thirst for education, while he/she is still very young, you will set a lifetime waterfall into motion. In essence, you will multiply their chances for higher achievement and success in life. Any child is capable of learning---they just need the right environment, the best instructors, and strong parental involvement.¡± Leah Landrum Taylor, Founder Our Vision The Landrum Foundation
