The idea
The Cabin is an established pre-school and wrap-around childcare provider, it is critical to the community because it provides access to affordable, high-quality childcare for all members of the community which helps our children thrive and our parents maintain employment.
Last year it was critical that we purchase a new prefabricated building and replace the existing 30-year-old, portacabin. We were very lucky to receive funding last year so we can replace the a building into a sustainable hub for the community. In replacing the building and refurbishing the outside space we want to complete the area with engaging learning activities for all ages who visit the pre school. Our budget fell short when we had unforeseeable extensive groundworks cost which was not covered in the original funding, and it is this money we desperately need to replace so the children have a fabulous outdoor learning environment for generations to come.
What we'll deliver
- . We will choose engaging equipment which will stimulate all ages.
- . We will source the equipment where possible from local business..
- . We will take care of the equipment so future generations can use them.
Why it's a great idea
Children learn best through play and a simulating environment can make a huge difference in their engagement, concentration and health and wellbeing. If we could raise enough funds to complete what we have already started with the new building, and outdoor groundworks it would be hugely beneficial to the community and children who pass through.
The pre school encourages a sense of community within our environment which promotes good physical and emotional health and wellbeing. By having a local pre-school like The Cabin, it enables more families and carers to walk with their children to and from the setting, supporting a healthy lifestyle.
By securing the essential funding we will be able to complete our project and bring the pre school outdoor learn areas into a creative and exciting place to learn.
