IAFCs Early Learning Centers provide high-quality child care and outstanding preschool education to children (birth-age 5) living in families facing poverty in significantly under-resourced communities. This year, two of our four centers have not been supported by any corporate group and would benefit greatly from beautification.
 Ford Heights
Time Frame: October - July (Children present) August (No children present)

• Early Learning Centers are in need of beautification including de-weeding, laying mulch, gardening/planting
• Additional component interacting with children can be developed and included

This is critically important to improving community conditions and building the confidence of teachers, the children and families who attend, and the community as a whole, who will feel supported and inspired to maintain the work. Also, in the long term, when external forces begin taking interest in these underserved communities, more partners join and strengthen the economic fabric of the community.

Second Shift - Our space doubled this past year and we are still in the process of re-painting some of our classrooms and office spaces.

We will provide all painting supplies.
