What Your Donation Supports

Early Childhood Education

With your generous contributions, we can create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. Your support will enable us to establish Montessori-inspired classrooms equipped with specially designed materials that foster independence, creativity, and a love for learning.

Exploration Outside of the Classroom

Opportunities to explore outside of the classroom create authentic learning opportunities and first-hand experience, stimulating interest and motivation, relevance to learning and interrelationships, strengthening observation perception skills, and promoting personal social development.

Connection to the Natural World

Outdoor play fosters children's intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development. Through hands-on exploration, they learn about plants and animals and develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a sense of wonder that will guide them throughout their lives. With your support, we can continue to provide these enriching experiences, empowering the next generation of environmental stewards and leaders.

Student Enrichment

Together, let's empower students to explore their passions, expand their horizons, and unlock their full potential. Every contribution counts in nurturing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

Staff Development

Your contributions will make a tangible difference in fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence among our dedicated staff. By nurturing their skills, knowledge, and passion for teaching, we ensure they can inspire, motivate, and guide our students effectively.

FabLab Creation

Together, let's cultivate a culture of innovation and empower students to unleash their creativity. With your support, we aim to equip our FabLab with state-of-the-art tools, machinery, and materials to ignite the spark of innovation in our community. Let's inspire the innovators of tomorrow!

Help Our Teachers on Donors Choose

Want to know exactly where your donation is going? Try donating through Donors Choose. There, our teachers post classroom requests — from dance lessons to technology to healthy snacks — that you can help fund directly. The projects give our students exciting new experiences, often taking them outside the classroom to explore Chicago. You can donate as much or as little as you choose to each project.
