Our Supporters
Dunbar Early Learning Center is a day care and early learning center for low-income students that is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Families pay a modest fee to send their children to Dunbar, but 75% of our operating expenses must be raised through other sources, including grants and individual donations.
Dunbar Early Learning Center is a designated 501c3 charitable organization.
Charitable support is essential in helping us to:
-
bridge the gap between the minimal tuition families pay and the true cost to care and educate each child.
-
provide program and facility improvements.
Community Partners
Dunbar Early Learning Center embodies the ancient proverb “It takes a village to raise a child.”

Volunteer
All community members are invited to visit Dunbar and consider a volunteer role, such as:

You and/or your grade school or teenage child can enrich your lives and those of our kids by READING or putting on PUPPET SHOWS for our children.
​​
-
Parents can play a special role in the lives of their children and classroom siblings by volunteering for just an hour or two a week. Many have so much fun in the classroom they want to stay longer or come more often
​​
-
Perhaps you have experience with FUND RAISING, MARKETING or PUBLIC RELATIONS and would be willing to share your knowledge and skills with us.
​​
-
If you are interested in taking on a broader role in the success of Dunbar’s children, your contribution as a member of our BOARD OF DIRECTORS, particularly if you have accounting, law, early childhood education or public relations experience will be a vital part of our mission.
