Community Involvement
At Foundations For Learning Family Day Care, we believe that community involvement benefits both the charities/organizations that we support and the students/ families in our school. By encouraging young children and their families to participate in our outreach efforts we strive to:
- Create meaningful connections with community members
- Teach a sense of responsibility
- Teach students that one person can make a difference
- Teach tolerance and know that diverse individuals can be united by common cause
- Help students learn early job skills (counting money, organizing activities, and working as a team)
- Provide services and materials to those in need
Foundations For Learning in the South Windsor COMMUNITIES:
We participate and support many local and national charities. Some of our outreach efforts include:
