HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
In “reaffirming the Lois Bronz Children’s
Center legacy,” we firmly believe that
every child has innate talent, abilities,
and passions; what we call their intrinsic,
unique “genius.”Our goal is to tap into
that “genius,” nurture their passion and
maximize the opportunities for their
long-term growth and success. We
provide necessary educational and
developmental services that enable parents
to be employed and to financially support their families.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Your generosity will enable us to accomplish our valued mission. Children and their families will benefit when preschoolers can experience early learning; or a child is able to attend an After School Enrichment program or participate in additional educational services when their parent(s) must work
full time.
