Educational First Steps' Annual Family Day at the Dallas Zoo is just around the corner!
We need help from volunteers to label books that will be given to several thousand children at this event. Please contact Melissa by phone 214-824-7940 or email manderson@educationalfirststeps.org if you would like to help with this project.
This special day offers the families from our network of over 90 assisted childcare centers free parking and admission to the zoo as well as every child from our event will leave with at least one book! While at the zoo, families will experience a day of fun that emphasizes the importance of reading, including hands-on activities, well-known authors and children's entertainers.
Times are flexible on Monday - Friday between 9am and 4pm.
Come alone, bring a friend or bring your group!

About Educational First Steps
Location:
2815 Gaston Avenue, Dallas, TX 75226, US
Mission Statement
OUR MISSION: To improve the quality and availability of early childhood education for economically disadvantaged children.
Description
Educational First Steps helps create nationally accredited early learning centers in the neighborhoods and for the children that need them most. We do this by transforming day care centers in disadvantaged and at risk neighborhoods of North Texas into superior pre-school experiences and their staffs into qualified teachers of age appropriate academic and social-emotional skills. Without this opportunity to develop a solid early foundation, these children most often enter the elementary grades unprepared for learning, with inadequate vocabulary, in need of costly remedial intervention and likely to repeat the cycle of poverty.
EFS' goal is to intervene in these children's lives at a pivotal point when they want nothing more than to learn -- and need nothing less than our best effort to give them the opportunity they deserve.
