Our Sponsors
Eric Keslowitz, of the Board of Directors for Five Towns community Chest, made bright orange t-shirts for all the children. When we go on trips it is easy to identify the children from the Early Learning Center.
Five Towns
Community Chest
The Five Towns Community Chest has partnered with the Five Towns Early Learning Center to help families afford quality early childhood education and make a difference in children’s lives. Community Chest has been an important part of the Center family since 1952. The Center is the beneficiary of their generosity in many ways. Recently, Chest helped 10 Center children to be prepared for school by supplying each with a book bag and school supplies. In December 2011,
Chest gave cash grants to 15 Center families in need of help for housing,
heat, clothes and food.
Chest truly live its motto:
“Neighbors Helping Neighbors”
NCJW Penninsula Section
For more then 40 years NCJW has been a co-sponsor of the Child Care Center. We have been the recipient of their very generous financial support for many many years. The support of NCJW has enabled us to provide scholarship support to hundreds of needy families who could not afford the high cost of quality child care. In addition to their financial support, NCJW helps us in countless ways:
- Volunteers from NCJW are an integral part of each classroom, volunteering time each week to work in the classrooms with the children. Vera Schwartz, a NCJW volunteer, has come weekly and played guitar with the children for the last 14 years.
- NCJW sponsors a visit with the Dentist; Hands are not for Hitting program and other enrichment activities.
- NCJW volunteers have become board members and even our much loved Director Emeritas, Bernice, started at the center as a volunteer.
Our friends at NCJW, Peninsula Section make sure that our teeth have a health start with the yearly Dental Screening. Dr Joe Brofsky and Dena put on a puppet show before the screening and give each child a toothbrush to take home.
