Hi everyone, My name is Trishti, and I am excited to announce the opening of The Collective Learning Center - a safe, nurturing, and high-quality early childhood education center designed specifically to service families in our community. The Collective Learning Center is a dream that is many years in the making, formed by living and working in the very community it is designed to service. The experience that went into the development of The Collective Learning Center involved every important role you can think of when it comes to childcare and education: The classroom assistant, a coach, the teacher, an administrator, and equally as important - the parent. Seeing the needs families face from so many angles gave me the inspiration to build a space where children feel valued, families and children feel supported, and everyone is inspired to grow. At this time, The Collective Learning Center has established the LLC, obtained an EIN, and the licensing process is underway! I’ve reached the place in my business plan where I need your support to continue to bring this vision fully to life. Our Mission The Collective Learning Center will provide: • Safe and loving childcare • Strong early learning foundations • Support for working families • A community-centered environment where every child feels like they belong The Collective Learning Center seeks to close gaps in the access that families from our communities have to quality childcare and education in an environment that is built on care, mutual respect, and growth opportunities. How Your Donation Helps Your support will directly fund: • Classroom furniture and learning spaces • Educational curriculum and materials • Books, toys, and developmental equipment • Safety supplies and startup essentials • Preparing our center for a Summer 2026 opening Every contribution, big or small, moves us closer to opening our doors and serving local families. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign means just as much. Community support is what will make The Collective Learning Center possible. Thank you for believing in this vision, supporting education, and helping create a place where children can learn, grow, and thrive together.
