Non-cash contributions can have even greater tax advantages for the donor. To donate appreciated assets, such as stocks and mutual funds, please contact our Edward Jones Financial Advisor Kat Liggins at 847-550-1687.

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, classroom furniture, craft supplies, and non-electronic toys.

DONATE YOUR TIME

We welcome input from parents, therapists, pediatricians, daycare directors, students, accountants, realtors, handymen, and anyone else who would like to offer their expertise as we grow. It takes a village!

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 (Wheeling or surrounding communities within a 10 mile radius). The facility must have an outdoor space for a playground.

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.
