Over the past few weeks, we’ve shown you some of our proudest accomplishments from 2023. But our work doesn’t stop now – in fact, we’re just getting started! As we look ahead to next year, we can’t wait to hit the ground running and make further progress in nurturing and sustaining child-centered, antiracist early learning communities.
NOW is your last chance to donate in 2023! By donating today, you can help provide us with the resources we need to make this vision a reality and #DoEvenMoreIn2024!
Every dollar donated goes directly to serving our community, improving our processes and programs, and advancing equitable early learning policies and practices.
And to those who have been with us every step of the way, to those who have already donated time, resources, and funds this year, we want to say THANK YOU for your continued support and dedication to our mission and our community!
From our Executive Officer Phoebe Sade: “I just want to thank you for an amazing 2023. We have so many incredible partners across our communities of King and Pierce County who have partnered with this organization, contributed to this organization, and are responsible for all of the great successes we have had.”
Thank you for making our favorite moments from this year possible, and for being a part of this incredible community. It’s because of our supporters and contributors that this vital work can take place! THANK YOU!
