On To Phase 2!
Through your generosity, and the hard work of WSU Children's Center families, friends, and teachers, funding for Phase 1 of the Children's Center Playground is COMPLETE! In addition to nearly $66,000 from the Phase 1 giving page and numerous Children's Center sponsored events, the Children's Center has been able to secure an additional $45,000 in matching grants from community organizations in Winona. This brings the current total in the Playground Project to approximately $111,000!
Phase 1 construction (Infant/Toddler Playground) has begun. Stay tuned for progress updates.
Phase 2 (Pre-K/School Age Playground) is next and $37,000 will ensure the completion of this project in 2024!
Your Donation Supports PLAY
Together with the WSU Outdoor Education Center the outdoor environment and developmentally appropriate play equipment will support WSU students as they gain the required skills to complete degrees in the field of Early Childhood and Elementary Education and Physical Education and Sport Science (PESS). Hear from parents and teachers how the Children's Center has impacted their lives.
The WSU Children’s Center is raising funds to enhance the outdoor learning spaces to meet the developmental needs of young children ages infant through 8 yrs. The play spaces will be used by approximately 80-100 children to foster balance, coordination and the social skills that are encouraged by cooperative play.
