Annual Fund

For over 75 years, First Presbyterian Preschool has been committed to nurturing a love of learning through play. Our powerful play-centered program allows children to use their creativity to build critical skills such as resiliency and problem solving that are essential to success in school and life. 

What is The Annual Fund? 

The Annual Fund is a yearly appeal to our community – families, alumni, church members, staff and friends – to raise funds that bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the school’s operating expenses. 

Why not raise tuition to cover expenses? 

We are grateful for the tuition contributions from our families, which cover about 70% of our budgeted expenses each year, and for First Presbyterian Church, which offsets many facility-related expenses.

How much should we give? 

Please be as generous as you can be… and THANK YOU! Your gifts to The Annual Fund support everything! The salary of your favorite teachers, new books for reading corners, paint brushes for art stations, magnifying glasses for science centers, scholarships, new chairs, and much, much more! 

How do we give? 

Please mail your donation to the church office or contact Clare Carter or Lydia Chapdelain to learn about more giving options.
