About

As a nationally accredited center, we strive to promote high quality early care and education. According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, by intentionally providing an array of artistic materials, then offering children the time and space to engage freely with them, teachers convey that there are many possibilities, that they view children as competent and capable of exploring and creating, and that they value children’s ideas and expressions. Process art can support children’s development in a variety of content areas and developmental domains.

In the past, crowdfunding donations have helped us promote early literacy, as well as diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. This year, we ask for your help to promote the arts so that we provide a means for self-expression, creativity, and an understanding of different perspectives.

Examples of how your gifts can make an impact:

$500- art roll paper dispenser rack
$250- new paint in all colors for each classroom
$100- variety of collage materials to be used for processed art
