The CEC Annual Fund

As with all independent schools and educational programs, philanthropy plays a vital role in the health of the CEC. It is the fuel that keeps us at the forefront of early childhood education. A robust Annual Fund covers the financial costs that tuition alone does not cover. These unrestricted gifts allow the CEC to:

· Fund essential programs such as tuition assistance, creating a diverse community which reflects the world around us.

· Provide competitive salaries and professional development allowing the CEC to retain and attract high-quality teachers.

· Create community engagement by fostering a commitment to the CEC from parents, alumni, grandparents, and other supporters.

· Have flexibility in budgeting and allowing the CEC to respond to immediate or unforeseen needs.

· Maintain our beautiful campuses, keeping them a place of exploration and wonder.
