Keep Our School Open

Ever since I became a teacher, I dreamt of starting my own school. With my experience in teaching at 5 different schools in the area, I developed a plan for how my school would operate. This plan remained on paper for quite some time until my sisters came to me with urgency to start a program for my preschool-aged niece and nephew. Now, I am the owner of a preschool that opened during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a small and safe educational environment for young children in the area. We offer in-class learning and remotely options. Radiance: PreK and KG hit the ground running with 8 students enrolled. We teach Qur’an, Arabic, Math, Language, Science and Community alongside Social-Emotional Development and Gross-Motor Skills. To learn more about Radiance, check out our website: MyLiteracyCenter.org/Radiance. As the school year continues, our families are struggling financially and many cannot pay the full tuition amount. Tuition is our only source of income and without funds, we are not able to provide day to day supplies and new materials for our students, to replace broken furniture and make repairs around the building, and to pay teachers who dedicate their time to give our students a loving and fun experience. The funds raised from this campaign will be deposited directly to Radiance’s account and be distributed amongst one of three areas: - Supplies & New Materials - Furniture Replacements & Building Repairs - Teachers’ Pay. Thank you for supporting the students and teachers at Radiance!
