Nurture 15 At-Risk Atlanta Preschoolers for a Year

Devina attended Sheltering Arms for her Pre-K years. Since she left Sheltering Arms she has grown into a beautiful young lady.  With the love, care, and support of Sheltering Arms my daughter is now a student at GA Southern majoring in Business Management, with a GPA of 3.1.  She is a full-time student also working part-time for Nike.

From Devina’s mother:

“I would like to say thank you to Sheltering Arms for taking my daughter under their wings and helping me raise a beautiful woman.  Also, I am an employee of Sheltering Arms for 16 years.  I am so thankful that I had the opportunity of working with this NAEYC accredited center, while working here during these years I have gained so much experience working with children and parents.”

With your help, Sheltering Arms is able to be a part of a success story as this one and the dreams of thousands of other families a reality. Nearly 90% of our children are from low-income working families. Your support provides tuition scholarships so that parents can afford the quality care and education their little ones need and deserve. And you can be assured that your gift is invested in an efficient, effective program:

• 93¢ of every dollar donated to Sheltering Arms goes to children and families

• 96% is the average score of Sheltering Arms children on developmental assessments

• $1 invested in quality early education returns up to $17 to the community in savings on incarceration, remediation, and public assistance

We are so grateful for all of the friends like you who have helped our children and families accomplish great things. We look forward to positively impacting generations of families with quality child care and early learning for years to come. Thank you!

With appreciation,

Sheltering Arms Staff and Families
