🌿 WHY IT MATTERS

Wings Early Education Center is one of the only providers of infant care and early childhood education in our region, serving as a critical resource for working families during the most important and formative years of a child’s life.

At Wings, we believe that early childhood is not just care, it is the foundation for lifelong learning. Through our nature-based, whole-child approach, children are encouraged to explore, create, and build confidence in a nurturing environment that supports both their development and their families.

Your support helps make this possible.

In the past year, Wings has made meaningful investments to strengthen the quality of care and education we provide—expanding our team to ensure every classroom is fully supported, increasing teacher wages, and investing in over 1,000 hours of professional development.

We have also introduced a new, evidence-based curriculum designed to support the whole child—bringing engaging, hands-on learning experiences into every classroom and creating stronger connections between school and home.

But the need continues to grow.

By supporting Wings, you are not only helping provide access to high-quality infant care and early education—you are supporting families, strengthening our workforce, and investing in the future of our community.

Every child deserves a strong start.
And with your help, we can continue to make that possible.

💛 CAN’T ATTEND?

Can’t attend the gala? You can still make a meaningful impact.

Your donation helps ensure that children and families in our community have access to high-quality infant care and early childhood education—supporting working families and giving young children the strong start they deserve.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Wings continue to grow, support our teachers, and expand access to care in our community.
