The Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education - Akerley Early Learning Centre, a nonprofit childcare centre housed within NSCC Akerley Campus is looking to enhance the outdoor play space and are looking for some assistance from the Community!
🛞They are currently seeking donations of “Loose Parts” which can include but are not limited to, stones, wooden pallets, cable spools, smooth cut lumber pieces, fabric pieces, milk crates, cleaned tires, log cuttings, PVC pipes, and other such items, both natural and man-made.
🪨The Centre believes in the value and power of loose parts play in facilitating the growth and development of young children's physical development, social skills, confidence, problem-solving, and overall wellbeing.
🪵All contributions would greatly support local families and help the Centre continue providing high-quality early learning experiences within our shared community.
Items can be dropped off during the Center’s business hours, which are Monday to Friday from 7:30am-5:30pm. Larger items can be brought directly to the play yard while smaller ones can be brought to the centre inside the NSCC building.
