NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2024 / National Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, but PNC Crezca con Éxito (PNC Grow Up Great) has been keeping Spanish-speaking little learners and families top of mind since we launched our early childhood education initiative in 2004.

"PNC Grow Up Great has been a Spanish and English initiative since early on, with the reasoning that this was simply the right thing to do to help prepare children across our communities for success in school and life," said Sally McCrady, chair and president of the PNC Foundation. "Since PNC also offered its products and services in both languages, it was important to model our early education initiative this way as well."
