Early Learning Center for Special Needs Children

Donation protected
Hello everyone! This is Teebro and Trishita Paul, directors for the Youth Mentor Program at Kids Like Us Community Learning Center, a non-profit organization located in East Tennessee tailored for children and young adults with special needs. After our successful fundraiser earlier this year, exceeding our goal of $5,000 for the stimulated workforce grocery store in the Workforce Development and Afterschool Program, we are hosting another fundraiser for KLU’s Early Learning Center.

Many different groups have been affected by COVID-19, and one that is overlooked is the special needs community. Due to the closure of many schools and organizations, those with special needs are not able to be in an environment that will help them grow and develop the skills they need. Therefore, we want to support Kids Like Us because they are working on benefiting these children and young adults. 
 
About KLU: KLU is a one-of-a-kind organization that has many needs as they expand their programs to offer additional services to those with special needs, some of them being Life Skills and the Workforce Development Program for those who have aged out of high school. The goal is to provide training and skill-based hands-on learning that will assist with independent living and working within the community. In addition, KLU will be offering a Before and After School Program and an Early Learning Center.
 
KLU's Mission: Kids Like Us believes that all children and adults should have the same opportunity to connect with others, learn, and socially interact while developing relationships and experience a sense of belonging. The institution strives to help children and young adults with special needs grow into independent individuals.
 
More About the Early Learning Center: Kids Like Us Early Learning Center is a childcare facility for infants and toddlers ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Kids Like Us was designed with the family in mind, so the program offers a safe and nurturing environment that enables children to grow through fun, intentional, and developmentally appropriate activities. The program works one-on-one with all children to benefit them to their full potential. Needs List for each classroom is on the KLU’s website.
 
Our goal is to collect $10,000 for the Early Learning Center, which will fund for one of the five classrooms. Spread some kindness to the KLU kids this holiday season!

We cannot open up the Bristol center for the public without all the requirements enforced by DHS. And with shipping delays, we may be in a further dilemma. Therefore, we will appreciate any support you can give us. Please share the link with everyone you know as well as on any social media platforms. 
 
We sincerely thank you for supporting us in a cause that we truly believe in. KLU has been working diligently in creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for those with special needs.
