Because of your donations, we are able to provide a cost of living increase to our 4 Preschool teachers and 2 Daycare staff, this year, starting in January 2024! This is great news because, sadly, two of our valued teachers went to work in the public school system, which pays a higher salary. We understand that the salary we pay is the lowest allowed by the state of Guanajuato, so we are happy those teachers found a way to better support their own families. At the same time, we are so grateful to the teachers and staff who are dedicated to our mission! Providing our teachers with an adequate salary will help them support their own families and help them feel more invested in our mission.
Our Teachers and staff are the most valuable assets of our organization! They demonstrate how to learn new things and be in community with a variety of individuals, each with a different set of emotions, needs and abilities. Every time I volunteer, I witness and experience the staff working together to create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere at the Center.
Here at Centro Infantil de los Angeles, it is our teachers who create engaging, age-appropriate lessons for their unique group of children. As you can imagine, a group of preschoolers can be a handful to keep engaged in learning and play time. These teachers need to be 100% focused for several hours straight, while children are present. Then these teachers go home and work on lesson plans for the next day. It is a lot of work for them and we appreciate them so much!
Your donations also helped us pay utilities and equip classrooms with needed learning supplies. We now have Sponsors for 33 of our 99 children. Your donations help us empower the teachers by supporting their salary, buying classroom supplies, paying utilities and sponsoring the children.
Please share with your family and friends; New monthly donations (up to $200 per unique donor) will have their first donation
matched at 100% after four (4) total payments, here on GlobalGiving.
Thank you for you support,
Tammy Kjos
