It's been twenty-two years since Nancy put down her nursery school roots in Echo Park, and we’re happy to report that raising good friends and community members continues to be a priority, the couch in the yard is still as welcoming as ever, and our kids come home every evening with enough sand in their shoes to fill a small boat.

In the past, Nancy has lovingly described the school as: "child-centered, play-based, wild, beautiful … and almost sustainable."

This year, however, was a hard one financially.

The fires took a heavy toll on the school, and still, Nancy continued to prioritize giving out robust scholarships and paying teachers a worthy living wage, even paying out of pocket to do so.

We have always been a community of people who show up for one another.

So please help us send Nancy and Oak Glen into the next 22 years with more financial security. Let's help protect this incredibly special and formative school.

If you are in a position to help, THIS. IS. THE. YEAR. Please DONATE generously. Whatever you can. It takes a village, so really, anything helps.

Donate for Nancy.

Donate for your kids.

Donate for the kids who have yet to come.

With immense gratitude,

the Oak Glen Protection Society
