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
