Save Upper Lonsdale Preschool!

I’m writing on behalf of Upper Lonsdale Preschool (ULP), a non-profit preschool that offers a play-based program where 3- and 4-year-old children on the North Shore are welcome to explore, learn and grow together.

Since ULP was founded in 1954, we have drawn on a mix of community fundraising and parent involvement to deliver quality programming to our students while maintaining tuition fees that are accessible to families in our North Shore community.

Unfortunately, with recent changes to public funding for child care centers, the continued impact of the pandemic on families’ needs, and a challenging economic climate, our preschool will be forced to close after the 2024-2025 academic year without additional financial support from our community.

We are thus seeking corporate and foundation support for ULP to provide a bridge for our preschool through the next academic year. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $38,000 before May 31, 2025.
