“Volunteering and fundraising bring us together as a community, helping us care for our children.”

The Child Development Center encourages families to donate to the One to Grow On campaign

Giving to the campaign not only builds The University of Texas at Austin Child Development Center community, but also contributes to a sense of shared purpose and accomplishment.

Please plan to give to the One to Grow On annual campaign this year, and help reach our fundraising goals.

 

In the fall look for the Giving Tree at your center. It provides parents with opportunities to “pick an apple” representing a specific item requested by your child’s teacher. By picking an apple you will directly benefit your child’s classroom, the center and help us reach our One to Grow On Goal!

Success for One to Grow On 2008-2009 One to Grow On Campaign 2009-2010

Thanks to the generous contributions of Child Development Center families and grandparents, the center surpassed its $10,000 goal last year! The campaign generated $10,200 which exceeded our goal. This extraordinary support has enabled the center to meet all of its annual goals for last year.

  • Staff Appreciation and Development — $1,000 donated allowed the center to host three teacher/staff appreciation luncheons, create “Final Exam Survival Kits” for Child Development Center student assistants, and support teacher training and continued learning.
  • Classroom and Center Enhancement — $4,000 donated bought needed materials and equipment for each of the 26 classrooms.
  • Increase Shade Areas — $5,000 donated purchased canopies for the main playgrounds at both the San Jacinto and Comal locations, a new tree for the Comal Center, and water misters for the San Jacinto Center.

Total Spending $10,000

This fiscal year presents many opportunities to enhance the learning environment for our children. To meet these top priorities, the center has set a fundraising goal of $10,000.

  • Staff Appreciation and Development — $1,000 needed to host two teacher appreciation lunches, ice cream socials at each location, provide “Survival Kits” to Child Development Center student assistants, and to support teacher training and continuing education opportunities.
  • Classroom and Center Enhancement— $5,000 needed to provide stipends for lead teachers to purchase classroom materials and equipment, and to fund center-wide improvements.
  • Capital Improvements— $4,000 needed to enhance the playgrounds at each center

Total Goal = $10,000
