Community Partnerships
Businesses can generate an excess of material bi-products, rejected, obsolete parts or discontinued items that are often discarded in a landfill.
Many of these items & materials can be re-purposed to be used as tools for hands-on creative learning for young children.
The following businesses have decided to make a difference in their community, and to become a powerful resource for early childhood education.
Bridgenorth, Apsley and Peterborough Locations
