Celebrate with us and help us build THE ANN BARNET CENTER!
We're excited to gather as a family to honor our founder's inspiring commitment to changing the lives of low-income families in D.C. This event will showcase our growth over the years and our upcoming plans to extend our services to more families and their children.
Your sponsorship will help launch our new project, The Ann Barnet Center, Early Childhood Education Campus. This space for growth and joy will serve up to 26 children and will offer:
- Two-generation learning: Children thrive while parents gain tools for success.
- Culturally rich, bilingual classrooms: Serving infants (0–2) and preschoolers (3–5).
- Hands-on teacher training: TFP students earn their CDA credential through real classroom experience.
- Evidence-based curriculum: Centered on Teaching Strategies GOLD, we nurture emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.
In return, we offer benefits that provide meaningful brand exposure to families, educators, and community leaders who value early childhood development.
