Your Gift Shapes a Child’s Future Before Kindergarten Even Begins


A Child’s Story: Meet Mila

Mila is three years old. Her mother works two jobs to make ends meet. Without access to quality early childhood education, Mila might enter kindergarten already behind—struggling to recognize letters, stay focused, or engage with classmates.

But because of community support and donor-funded programs at DrewCDC, Mila is part of a school readiness program where she’s learning through play, receiving developmental screenings, and building confidence in a safe, nurturing environment.

Mila isn’t just preparing for school—she’s preparing for life.


Why Early Education Matters

The first five years of a child’s life are critical. Research shows that access to educational programs for children during these early years boosts:

  • Language and literacy development
  • Social and emotional skills
  • Long-term academic success
  • Graduation and employment rates later in life

Yet, too many families in underserved communities face barriers to these opportunities.


How DrewCDC Supports Early Learning

Thanks to generous donations, DrewCDC provides:

✅ Culturally responsive early education resources
✅ Parent engagement workshops
✅ Bilingual learning environments
✅ Nutritious meals and health screenings
✅ Trauma-informed care in every classroom

We work closely with caregivers to ensure every child is ready for kindergarten and beyond.


Your Impact Starts Early

Donating to DrewCDC helps us expand school readiness programs and keep our early childhood centers fully staffed, supplied, and open to those who need them most.

Every dollar goes toward unlocking a child’s potential before they ever step into a formal classroom.
