Educational First Steps is seeking minor physical help for one of our partner childcare centers in Arlington. Their fence backs up to a fast food restaurant, so they get a lot of trash that enters the children's play area. We need a few volunteers that can help add a privacy screen to their chain link fence (this is a very simple process but takes a couple hands) and we would also like to repaint their parking stripes as they have become very faded.
We are a privately funded non profit organization that shows caregivers of at-risk children how to create high-quality early learning environments (leading to national accreditation) where children are cared for, guided to be good citizens, taught to work together and nurtured with the whole child approach.
The best time to start the project would be around 9am or shortly after to allow the paint to dry before the busses leave to pick up children.
If you are interested, please contact Melissa Anderson via email at manderson@educationalfirststeps.org.
Thank you!!

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.
