Donate
Can you make a special year-end gift by midnight, December 31st to the Scholarship Fund?
Because of your gift today, you will directly support one more family in our community, providing critical tuition assistance that makes paying for child care, and returning to work, possible.
When you give before midnight on the 31st, you can take advantage of the first $500 that our board members have pledged to match. That means when you donate $25, it will be like donating $50.
Your Support Has An Impact!
$25 provides two anti-bias or spanish-language books for our libraries
$100 supports a week of increased wages
$350 allows us to provide one month of medical benefits to a teacher
$500 supports local food systems by purchasing local organic snacks for one month at one school
$1,500 provides supporting costs for one teacher to get their Child Development Associate® Credential
$3,000 is the average scholarship for one child for one year
Apple Playschools' Scholarships Help Kids Grow!
25% of our families utilize scholarship support.
Many families are not eligible for government child care subsidies but still benefit from assistance to provide their children with high-quality care.
$13k is the average tuition for one child.
1 in 5 of our families have 2 or more children in our programs, so this cost increases exponentially for them. 10% of our families will welcome new children this year.
30% increase in our costs.
Since the pandemic began, our costs have massively increased. Scholarships allow us to keep care accessible while sharing this increase with families.
$3,000 is the average scholarship for one child for one year
