Last year, our #HolidayAngels worked overtime to ensure the children in our subsidy programs had a memorable time. We're aiming higher in 2019! We're still accepting unwrapped gifts and donations (ages 0-18). Our Holiday Angels program will take place on December 10th - 12th.

@TheAtlantic , labor, need & location are causing childcare costs to grow. Let's not forget that parents pay high amounts for childcare to ensure that the welfare & safety of their child is not overlooked. They mean way more than any consumer good. bit.ly/2sthOvi

We're thankful this year for many things, all of which wouldn't be possible without our amazing families, friends, staff & providers. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone, and appreciate each other always. #Thanksgiving #Thankful ThankYou #Connections4Children

Last year, we received a record amount of unwrapped gifts from generous donors participating in our #HolidayAngels program - check out that amazing haul! We'd love to surpass that amount in 2019! #HolidayAngels #Community #HappyHolidays #Westchester #Connections4Children

#GivingTuesday - more important than #BlackFriday & #CyberMonday combined - is NEXT WEEK on Dec 3rd! By participating in this global day of giving and donating to our non-profit, you'd be investing in the children in our community and raising awareness for our childcare efforts!

In lieu of the Thanksgiving holiday, we will also be closed this Friday and re-open the following Monday. We hope all of our families, friends, staffers & providers have a fantastic holiday week! #HolidayWeek #HolidayHours #Thanksgiving #BlackFriday #Connections4Children
