Holly's Mom for Cornerstone

As a Friends of Cornerstone board member and Cornerstone parent myself, I am so excited to be fundraising for Cornerstone Center as part of Give STL Day!

Cornerstone Center is everything you want an early childcare center to be. It is an award-winning and long-standing fixture in the community, filled with incredibly thoughtful educators and unique learning opportunities. What makes it that much more special is the diverse population it serves, truly mirroring that of the city of St. Louis, and making an amazing education accessible to families of all income levels. In fact, more than half of Cornerstone children come from households eligible to receive childcare assistance, paying $25 or less per week. While children safely attend Cornerstone, their families are able to focus on employment and higher education opportunities, enabling them to improve their standard of living.

Not only does our daughter thrive at this school, but we also feel good knowing we're contributing to an organization that does so much good for the community. 

In addition to quality education and care, Cornerstone provides all of their families with:
-Two meals and a snack for every child each day
-Included childcare essentials such as diapers, wipes, infant formula, and baby food
-Health screenings including medical, dental, vision, hearing, and developmental
-Free on-site therapy to assist with speech, physical, occupational, and social-emotional development
-A Nature Explore Certified Outdoor Classroom featuring playscapes; greenhouses; digging, climbing, dramatic play, and building areas; water, music, and art stations; a bicycle path, mud kitchen, story walk, and more
-An experienced team of staff and faculty, 30% of whom have been with Cornerstone for more than a decade

Thank you for contributing to such a worthwhile cause!
