BlueSkies for Children is recognized as
one of best childcare programs in the Bay Area and the only center
in Oakland accredited by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC). Our vision is to firmly establish BlueSkies
as a model childcare center and a resource for families, the community
and the field of Early Care and Education (ECE) far into the future.
Creating Futures: Raising the Bar
for Early Care and Education capital campaign will
help accomplish our vision by:
- Renovating our facilities,
in order to make our school accessible to people of
all physical abilities and to expand and improve the
effectiveness of our classrooms, play yards, kitchen
and offices; and
- Building the Anne and
Richard Copenhagen Endowment for Scholarships,
so we can provide need-based tuition subsidies to
more families and demonstrate that our model works
for children across the socio-economic spectrum.
Our
goal is to raise $1.7 million for
facility renovations and the scholarship endowment.
Thanks
to the generous gifts of The Bernard E. and Alba Witkin Foundation,
The Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation, Alameda County First
Five, alumni, parents, grandparents, Board members, staff
and friends, we have raised over $1.25 Million for the campaign. This support has enabled us to almost fully fund Phases 1 and 2 of the renovation project and contribute to the scholarship endowment. New gifts will allow us to fully fund the renovations and more than double our scholarship endowment.
Phase 2 renovations are complete! Celebrate with us!
