We need YOUR help to get Back to School!

We are getting ready for Back to School. Not only are we opening in person, but we’re also implementing a brand new virtual program. Because of COVID, the needs of our students and families have expanded and that means, we need to expand our program to meet their needs. That means, we need YOU.

Our students and their families have been hit hardest by the pandemic, which is why it’s so important as a community to step up and lift up their voices.

Show your support for our students today by donating $20, $100, $500 or any amount you can to ensure that our students are successful this year.

We are hosting a School Supply Drive!

We can’t wait to finally hear the pitter patter of students’ feet in the classroom again! But before we reopen, we need to have the supplies we need to support our students’ education. That’s why we’re inviting you to participate in our School Supply Drive, and help our students start the year off with the supplies they need to be successful.

We Stand United. Estamos Unidos. ባአንድነት እንቆማለን.

As a multi-cultural, multi-racial community, we acknowledge there are many different experiences with racism and we must do better for our students and families to make sure we are not perpetuating racism intentionally or unintentionally. We are a preschool filled with families who come from over 24 different countries and speak 14 different languages. 100% of our students are black and brown. These recent events impact all of our families at CFNC and we stand together with them.
