WE ARE RAISING $100,000 TO SUPPORT MORE FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Periwinkle Children’s Centre is a non-profit village daycare in Kaslo, BC offering a Waldorf-inspired program with a focus on outdoor education for children ages 2.5 to 5 years old. Periwinkle is currently at an interesting juncture where we are looking to expand our services so we can support more families in Kaslo and its surrounding communities.
WHY ARE WE RAISING $100,000?
Periwinkle Children’s Centre is currently unable to meet the demand for child care within the community. We have a vision to expand our services to meet the growing needs of families. For the last two years, our team of volunteer board members and program manager has been working hard to make this vision a reality; from grant writing and fundraising to managing the centre’s expansion project, we are finally at a point where this expansion is ready to be birthed.
Will you help us obtain the funds we need to proceed with our expansion project?
