29 Nov#GivingTuesday is Tuesday December 3rd so save the date
#GivingTuesday is an opportunity to give back to the organisations making a difference in people’s lives.
Giving isn’t just about making a donation. It’s about making a difference. In the lead up to #GivingTuesday we’re sharing ways you can support Early Learning Association Australia’s Early Childhood Education Foundation.
Early Childhood Education Foundation:
The Early Childhood Education Foundation has been helping families with out-of-pocket kindergarten fees over the past 22 years. The Foundation strives to:
- ensure that children from families experiencing financial difficulties aren’t denied opportunities to realise their potential because they missed out on development opportunities such as funded kindergarten programs
- develop a program where contributions from donors such as the community, kindergarten services, other organisations and the corporate sector support its mission.
Giving to the Early Childhood Education Foundation has helped children like Sian*…
Sian’s mother suffered from extreme illness during a recent pregnancy and was frequently admitted into hospital and was on bed rest for the remaining pregnancy. Her father took on the carer role and reduced the hours of work as a result. Sian’s parents could not afford her kindergarten fees while experiencing this financial difficulty. Sian was showing signs of trauma as a result of seeing her mother unwell and was a child at risk. Attending kinder was important to her social and emotional well-being, particularly as she transitioned to school. *not pictured and name changed to protect child’s privacy.
Please consider donating to the Foundation on #GivingTuesday
The ECEF contributes approximately $380 per term to a recipient’s kindergarten fees allowing a child to attend at little or no cost. To find out more or MAKE A DONATION click here
