Help Us Rebuild Our Playground

Creating a Safe, Imaginative, and Joy-Filled Outdoor Space for Our Children

For 30 years, our playground has been the heart of St. Mary Child Care Center. It is the place where children race down slides with pure joy, build friendships in the sandbox, test their strength on the climbers, and imagine entire worlds only children can see.

It has served generations of families with love, and now, after decades of weather, play, and growth, it is time for us to give that love back.

Why We Need Your Help

Our current playground is original to the Center. Much of the structure is reaching the end of its safe, usable life. The surfacing requires repair, materials need replacing, and both our toddler and preschool areas need updated equipment that meets today’s safety standards.

To continue offering children a safe, inspiring space to explore, play, and grow, we are beginning a full playground rebuild.

What Your Gift Supports

Every gift designated to the playground directly helps us rebuild the outdoor environment our children deserve, including:

New toddler and preschool play structures
Safe, durable resurfacing
Accessible equipment
Updated materials that encourage imagination and pretend play

Why It Matters

Outdoor play is essential to a child’s development. Your contribution directly supports:

Gross motor development such as climbing, balancing, and running
Imagination and pretend play
Social and emotional growth
Opportunities to explore nature and build confidence
Daily joy, movement, and connection

Your support ensures that every child in our care, from our tiniest toddlers to our oldest preschoolers, has a safe place to run, learn, play, and simply be a child.
