Fall 2021 in Review - CHILD Center for Early Learning

We celebrated Thanksgiving with a feast and take-home ingredients

This Fall 2021, we were thankful to be able to observe Thanksgiving with a delicious meal for our students in the CHILD Center. Plus, thanks to SWAG’s annual Thanksgiving basket giveaway, we were able to send home a turkey and sides to 45 families.

Our older students enjoyed music class

Our older kids have a special treat during Fall 2021! Twice a week, they have a music class based on music from Kenya. They are learning about all of the different things that make music so wonderful.

We got generous donations from community partners during Fall 2021

The CHILD Center got a huge food donation from our friends at Bite Squad on September 13. We were also very grateful for delicious treats from Cindy B Goods and Bite Squad on September 28. In addition to food, we received a large donation of supplies like diapers on October 4 from the Trinity United Methodist women’s group. Thank you so much to all of our partners for your support, material and otherwise!
