Our early years class room and outdoors need a bit of love!

At Dochgarroch ELC we welcome children between 3-5 year olds. We want to make their space inclusive, stimulating and a really happy place to be!

The early years are a massive milestone in a child's development and has a real impact on the rest of their lives. The environment is integral to ensuring all of our children settle happily, develop well, and are kept healthy and safe.

The Early Years team at Dochgarroch ELC are motivated to raise enough money to be able to redecorate and redesign our space following the latest evidence for child development. Your money will go towards new chairs and items for our room to encourage learning through play at all ages and stages in the ELC.

We plan to all show our commitment to this fundraising by walking the height of Mount Everest, which is 8,849 meters or 29,030 feet, a very long way for little legs. We have measured our our school field and we believe we can manage this in 38 days, which will take us right up to the summer holidays.

We also want to develop and improve the outside area for Early Years to make it something that we and the children can be proud of.

A few ideas of how we can spend the money raised outside;

Creating lots of exciting 'areas' for the children to explore eg. water area, sand area, role play, technology, reading/writing area etc.

Making or purchasing attractive and engaging fixed equipment.

Purchasing purposeful and challenging resources to enable the children to learn through play.

Thank you for your support
