Our Initiatives

Farm 1

Farm to School Initiative

Cultivating Health and Nutrition in Child Care Centers

Promoting health and sustainability, this initiative builds school gardens and hydroponic spaces in child care centers to grow fresh fruits and vegetables. By fostering hands-on learning and healthy eating habits, children and families can explore nutritious meals together, build positive relationships with food, and lay the foundation for a future where they benefit from locally grown, wholesome produce.

Reading Together

Books Year Round

Fostering Early Literacy and Child Care Centers Success

Encouraging a lifelong love of reading, this initiative provides children with access to age-appropriate books year-round while also supporting home-based child care centers. From nurturing early literacy to offering resources for child care providers to successfully run their programs, we aim to empower children, families, and educators alike.

Colorful Toys

Learning Through Play

Building Skills One Toy at a Time

Learning through play is at the heart of child development. This initiative provides home-based and center-based child care providers with age-appropriate, educational toys that inspire creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. By equipping child care providers with these resources, we help children grow, thrive, and build critical skills for the future.
