The Redwood Foundation for Education is pleased to announce the establishment of a fund to support the Grants Pass School District Early Learning Program.
The program offers free early learning opportunities to Grants Pass families with preschool-aged children.
Unlike K-12 education, early learning programs do not receive state funding. Programs for preschool-aged children are typically funded through grants, donations or tuition. The earnings from this fund will support free parent-child interactive playgroups and connect families to community resources and support.
In addition, donations to the Grants Pass Early Learning Fund will support preschool opportunities, transportation assistance, child care for families with multiple children so parents/caregivers can attend workshops and playgroups with the preschool-aged child, professional development for early learning providers, parent workshops, kindergarten readiness classes, on-site dental, vision and speech screenings, and a clothing closet.
Quin Collins Pehrson, Executive Director of the Redwood Foundation for Education, said: "By providing free early learning opportunities, we are helping to ensure that all children in our community have access to the resources they need to thrive."
