Teaching Tree Giving Book

The Teaching Tree Giving Book Giving that grows brighter beginnings!

December 2025

Every tree needs strong roots - and you’re ours.

Choose how you’ll grow with us! With so many ways to give, you can create an impact that’s personal, lasting, and meaningful to you. Your generosity helps children grow, families thrive, and our community flourish.

Dear Champions of Children, As we enter the season of giving, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude for the support you’ve shown Teaching Tree. Because of you, young children in our community are learning, growing, and discovering their potential in a safe, nurturing environment — and families are able to work, build stability, and move forward with confidence.

The need for affordable, high-quality early childhood education has never been greater. Parents are doing everything they can — working multiple jobs, piecing together childcare, trying to make ends meet — all while wanting what every parent wants: a bright, secure, loving start for their children.

And that’s where you make the difference.

Your generosity doesn’t just fund a classroom — it gives a child the chance to feel seen, supported, and excited to learn. It gives parents peace of mind and the ability to provide for their families. It strengthens our entire community.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community (and recent wins like Measure 1B), the future of early childhood education in Larimer County is bright. But the truth is, the need for affordable, high-quality care continues to grow faster than funding can keep up. To sustain and grow the life-changing impact of our programs, we must raise $180,000 this year through the generosity of supporters like you.

This Giving Book is an invitation to help us bridge that gap — to invest in children, teachers, and families right here at home. Every dollar you give plants a seed of opportunity that will grow for generations.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for believing in our children and in the power of early education.

Your kindness truly changes lives.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Anne Lance Anne Lance, Executive Director Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center

Grow Your Legacy: Sponsor a Teaching Tree Classroom ($3,000)

Behind every confident child is a caring teacher — and behind every great classroom is a community that believes in its power. When you become a Teaching Tree Classroom Sponsor, you directly invest in the educators and environments that nurture our youngest learners every day.

Your sponsorship supports the everyday essentials that turn learning spaces into places of discovery, creativity, and joy. From art supplies to sensory tools, your generosity helps teachers bring lessons to life and children’s imaginations to bloom.

By sponsoring a classroom, you’re not just supporting one group of children — you’re helping every child who walks through that door to feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn.

“Every day, I see children discover something new about themselves and the world. Your support gives me the tools to make those moments happen.”
