Giving to the MCPK
MCPK Families, Friends, and Supporters,
At MCPK, we have always believed that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe, nurturing and enriching environment. As a place that fosters curiosity, creativity, and kindness, we’ve been proud to support our students and families in their early education journey. That’s why we continue to ask for your support for our Scholarship Program. Help us ensure that all children in Montclair can benefit from our programs—regardless of their financial situation.
Public pre-k in Montclair continues to grow, and we are proud that eight of our thirteen classrooms are now publicly funded and free for families. But until public pre-k is fully realized in Montclair, there are still families who will need financial assistance to afford high quality pre-k. We are also addressing the need to make extended care in the mornings and afternoons affordable for working families.
For many families, our extended care program is essential. It is more than just childcare—it’s an extension of the educational program that we provide throughout the day. Children enjoy hands-on activities, creative projects, and educational games, all while building social skills and fostering friendships in a caring environment.
Not all families can afford the cost of extended care services, and that’s where you can make a difference. DONATE HERE!
How Your Support Helps:
Your generous contribution will directly fund scholarships for families who need assistance covering school day and extended care costs. Every donation helps provide:
- Financial Support for families to access our programs.
- Expanded Opportunities for children to continue their learning in a fun, safe, and engaging environment.
- Peace of Mind for parents who need affordable, quality care for their children beyond school hours.
We are asking for your support in one of the following ways:
- Make a Donation: No gift is too small. Your donation will directly support a child's school day or extended care scholarship.
- Sponsor a Child: You can sponsor the full cost of tuition for the school day or extended care. For example, a donation of $500 covers a month of aftercare or $1,500 covers the full year (10 months) of aftercare for one student. $1,600 covers the cost of a month of our school day program and $16,000 covers a year of tuition.
- Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and network. The more people who know about the cause, the more children we can support!
Thank You for Your Support!
With your help, we can ensure that every child in Montclair has the opportunity to grow, learn, and explore in a safe and supportive environment—before and after the school day ends. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of children and their families.
