SCHOOL DAYS: FIRE STATION FIELD TRIP

This month, our young students spent time exploring service professions with hands-on activities and dress-up play. Exposure to the world of work at this young age provides opportunities for students to explore the world around them, encourage interest in their community, and appreciate the people that work to help them grow and learn. After participating in a variety of activities in the classroom, the students and teachers walked to the local fire station to meet firefighters and learn about what they do. The firefighters showed the children different equipment and what its used for and of course, a tour of a big fire truck!

Community engagement gives children a sense of belonging and helps to build their identity. Being a member of a community sends a powerful message to children, one that says: You are important. You belong. You make a difference. It’s a message that holds the strength to empower every child in the world. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty and giving our young students the foundation for a better future.

EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS

Every donation helps ensure that we can continue transforming the lives of families facing extreme poverty.

When you make your donation recurring, you’ll join our Helping Hands Sustainer Circle, a community of extraordinary humans working together to provide monthly support for the children and families at the Acorn Childcare Center. As a member, your monthly commitment provides a reliable and sustainable source of funds we can use to plan programs, create budgets and expand services. For example, your monthly commitment of $25 could provide the children with safe drinking water each month while $50 could provide books and art supplies for the month.

Maya Childcare Inc is run entirely by volunteers, thus 100% of your donation goes directly to the Acorn Childcare Center.
