Preserve the Passion for Learning
“Natural play strengthens children’s self-confidence and arouses their senses—their awareness of the world and all that moves in it, seen and unseen.”

Our philosophy is that children learn best in a calm and natural environment. Through creative play and embracing the natural beauty that surrounds us, our program offers a unique opportunity that captures the whimsy and curiosity that all children have.
We have all felt the heavy consequences of COVID-19. Our 2019-2020 school year came to an abrupt halt, which has left us with extremely limited resources. With your generous donation, we can continue to provide our enriching child centered environment . Our nonprofit organization strives to keep costs low, however, missing 3 months of tuition has put great stress on our ability to operate next fall.
As the only program available for young children on Shelter Island, we are asking that we come together, as a community, to help the Shelter Island Early Childhood Learning Center continue our mission.
“By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man; body, mind and spirit.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
