A Heartfelt Connection to Country Kids Playschool

Carol’s daughter, Emily, attended this school from age two to four, and it holds a special place in the musician’s heart. Carol shares, “I am performing for Country Kids because it is where our daughter, Emily, went to school from age two to four. It is where we made our wonderful friends who are still very much part of our lives today.” She continues, “The school gave Emily a supportive and caring foundation for future education.
