Chicago Refugee Coalition Daycare Supply Drive

About this Giving Opportunity

At Little Harbor Academy (LHA), we propose to offer a one-of-a-kind solution for refugee families seeking both high-quality early childhood education and comprehensive family support. Here’s why LHA stands apart:

• Innovative, Research-Based Curriculum: We implement the HighScope curriculum, a cutting-edge, hands-on learning approach that empowers children to think critically, solve problems, and develop socially and emotionally. Our focus on creativity and global citizenship prepares children for success in a rapidly changing world.
• Holistic Family Support: LHA is more than a daycare center—it’s a community resource. Our on-site Resource Center provides essential items like personal hygiene products, and families have access to our food banking program. We believe in supporting the entire family, ensuring that parents can focus on their personal, academic, and professional goals.
• Tailored to Refugee Families: Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of refugee families, LHA fills a critical gap in the market. Our services and support remove the barriers that often prevent parents from pursuing education and career opportunities, allowing them to build stability for their families.
• Responsive and Dignified Care: At LHA, we are committed to providing care that is not only responsive to the community’s needs but also treats every family with dignity. Our compassionate approach empowers children and families to thrive, creating a foundation for long-term success.
