Indoor and Outdoor Dream Teams
Dream Teams complete needed projects inside child care and early childhood program sites or support outdoor learning through projects that enhance physical activity and gardening. Dream Teams may paint an early childhood program’s hallways, install tree stumps to make an outdoor story circle, build a teepee for green beans to grow on, or install raised beds for planting.

Early Educator Appreciation Baskets

We encourage recognition of early educators year round, and especially during Teacher Appreciation Week in early May. Learn more
Supply Drives for Child Care Centers and Early Learning Programs
Supply drives held throughout the year provide child care centers and early childhood programs needed items that support and enhance their work. Examples of supply drive donations include classroom materials, books for young children, baby nursery needs, or a hats and mittens drive. Learn more
