For families who qualify for child care subsidies, high-quality early education is often out of reach. Scholarships bridge the gap between what subsidy funds cover and the true cost of care.
Donations to our scholarship fund provide access to the highest quality early care & education for children.
The Mayeshiba Family Alumni Fund was started by the generosity of a former student’s family.
“In 2015, Patrick Mayeshiba was one of the first babies enrolled at The Playing Field. His parents saw the value of high quality early care and education for their son. They also recognized the importance of including children from all socio-economic backgrounds.
When Patrick left our program for kindergarten, The Playing Field was surprised to continue receiving funds from their family. At first, we thought it was an error but, we soon learned the Mayeshibas had chosen to support our scholarship fund. When asked to share about their experiences at The Playing Field, Matt Mayeshiba recalled a family night where he learned firsthand about the struggles of other families in our program.
Their support helped to open doors for other children to attend our high quality early education program and we are thrilled to name our alumni fund after them!
Other alumni families have continued this tradition and supported our scholarship fund as well. We also want to recognize and thank Aric and Michelle Hall as well as John and Samantha Oliver for their continued support of our scholarship fund!”
The funds are used for scholarships. These scholarships provide access to those children who would not be able to attend The Playing Field due to food, transportation or housing insecurities.
As your child prepares to graduate from our program, we are asking you to consider making a monthly contribution of any size to our alumni fund. Even small amounts add up when combined together and you will help us to break barriers to quality early care and education.
