From St.Ambrose Roots, A New Garden Grows

Donation protected
We need your help to keep an essential early learning center open for the children, families, and educators who rely on it. Our goal is to purchase the building and transform it into The Learning Garden, a space where young minds can continue to grow, explore, and thrive.

Your donation will go directly toward:

  • Purchasing the building so families can continue to access high-quality childcare. 
  • Maintaining early education programs that prioritize child-led learning and exploration. 
  • Supporting dedicated educators who nurture and guide young minds every day. 
  • Creating a nature-infused learning environment where children develop creativity, resilience, and confidence. 

For over 30 years, the St. Ambrose University Children’s Campus has been more than just early education—it’s been a place where families, educators, and the community built a foundation for life through hands-on learning, curiosity, and kindness. The news of its closure is heartbreaking. For many, it’s not just a childcare center, but a space where children grew, friendships were formed, and a community thrived. The decision was difficult, and its impact is deeply felt by families and educators—past, present, and future.

But we refuse to let this be the end of the story.

We, Courtney and Tyler, are committed to keeping this space alive. With your help, we can purchase the building and continue growing what St. Ambrose has planted—a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive. This cherished center is more than just a place; it’s a lifeline for families and a cornerstone of the community. By preserving it, we ensure future generations of children will have the same loving, supportive environment that has shaped so many lives before them.

Every dollar brings us closer to making The Learning Garden a reality. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us.

Together, we can ensure that this special place continues to bloom for generations to come.

With gratitude and hope,
Courtney & Tyler
