Lifting Up Our Kids

Children adapt and grow with each passing day as infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Their eyes fill with awe and discovery as we hold them, walk with them and talk to them. This age of exploration is a major determinant for their ongoing success in school, the workplace and in life, which is why investments in early learning are some of the best we can make as a community. By coming together we can ensure that every child is cared for and cheered on. Learning and love mean the world to them, but for our community it means better performing schools, increased economic strength and a better educated workforce. For these reasons, the Community Foundation is committed to lifting up our region’s children through quality early learning programs.
