Reasons to Support Children’s Village
|
|
|
|
At Children’s Village
we believe every child should have access to affordable, quality
early care and education. After all, research recognizes the
immense importance of high quality early care and education
and its link to school readiness, later school success and
ultimately, life success. |

|
|
Each gift supports the programs
and services of Children’s Village, helping to build
strong foundations in children of working families. Known
for its cultural diversity, Children’s Village offers
exceptional programs and services to families of young children
and school age children in the Chinatown community and surrounding
neighborhoods. |

Our donors make a big difference
in children's lives. We invite you to join our supporters
and participate in various ways of giving. All contributions
help cover the cost of providing the highest quality programs
and services, vital to children and their families. |

How Your Gift Helps Children’s Village
|
|
|
| Quality early childhood education
has a profound and long term impact upon the lives of children
and the geographical areas in which they live. Societal benefits
created by children attending high quality early care and
education programs are documented by The High Scope Perry
Preschool Study which concludes that every dollar invested
in early care and education has a return of $17. Thus, children
who have had the benefit of high quality early education contribute
to society as productive members with higher earning potential
promoting the economic strength of the Philadelphia region. |
