Recognizing the need within Dayton’s early childhood programs, Crayons to Classrooms is excited to serve the needs of childcare programs in our community too.
Please note that we review new applications annually between January and March. Qualifying centers and programs will be notified prior to the start of the next academic school year. We ask that the following form be completed by the Director of your Early Childhood Program.
*Preschools within school districts are added based on free and reduced lunch numbers (the same way we add all PreK-12 schools) and will not be considered by completing this application.
"*" indicates required fields
"Crayons to Classrooms highlights a need for schools that serve low income students. They stock a wide variety of school supplies that teachers can then come and 'shop' for free. Many people have heard that teachers spend their own money to provide things that their students need. This nonprofit has opened the eyes of the citizens of Dayton, OH, and allowed the community to take this burden off teachers' shoulders. The office and store are well-run and the staff excellent. A model organization."
