DONATE GOODS

We are in need of a variety of new or gently used large movement items such as playground equipment, swings, outdoor kids’ furniture, water tables, tricycles, ride-on toys, mats, trampolines, bouncy houses, and anything else that gets our tots moving! Other helpful items include office furniture, a computer, printer/copier, and classroom furniture. We are not accepting small toys until we have a physical location.

DONATE YOUR TIME

Every fundraising event needs a group of volunteers so check out our Events page for all the details. We also want to build a robust Board of Directors to guide us with financial decisions, business planning, and assist with fundraising. If our mission tugs at your heart and you have business-related expertise, we need your wisdom!

DONATE YOUR SPACE

We are currently looking for storage for all donated items until we secure a facility. Speaking of! We also need a facility or office/retail space to open our center. Please contact us with affordable options in Chicago's northwest suburbs. The facility must have an outdoor space for a playground, be ADA-compliant, and be on the main level. We prefer 3,000-5,000 sq ft but can be flexible with the size.

DONATE YOUR SMILE

We are looking for a diverse group of adorable kids ages 1-5 years old to pose for photos and videos to be featured on our website and marketing materials. If you have a smile, we would love to capture it!

DONATE YOUR STORY

Because we rely on outside funding to operate our center, we need to tell our story! How does our daycare benefit your family? What challenges have you faced at other facilities? Our donors need to know about the impact their gift is making in our community.
