Thank you for supporting the Child Care Council’s scholarship programs.
The dollars you donate for Giving Tuesday 2024 will allow the Council to make scholarship awards to families who are working hard to overcome extremely difficult circumstances, like homelessness or domestic violence, and do not otherwise qualify for financial assistance for child care. Recipients may also include grandparents caring for grandchildren, or parents who are going back to college, among others.
Together, we can ensure that child care is a resource for them, instead of a barrier. The testimonials from local parents, seen at the YouTube video below, show in real life how this scholarship money can change lives and provide a release valve for the stress that is being a parent in Westchester County.
Child care allows parents to work, build careers, and pay for other necessities. It contributes to a diverse and talented workforce and builds a strong local economy.
The quality of care is really important. In the right early education setting, children will be safe, eat nutritious food, and have access to books, toys and learning materials that fuel the early brain growth critical for future health and learning.
This year for #GivingTuesday – December 3, 2024 – our goal is to raise $50,000. My personal goal is to raise $5000. I am beyond grateful for your contribution. In this season of gratitude, lets take a moment to put our money into a space that truly prioritizes our future generations.
