Willard Community Center is pleased to announce that we have received a $25,000 grant from the Woods Charitable Fund in support of the expansion of our Early Explorers Early Childhood Program.

This generous investment will help strengthen and sustain our recently launched infant and toddler program, which was created to address the growing need for high-quality child care in our community. Through this expansion, Early Explorers now provides care and early learning opportunities for children from infancy through preschool, helping families access the support they need during their children's most important developmental years.

The Woods Charitable Fund's support will assist with the continued growth of the program, ensuring that infants and toddlers have access to a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, explore, and thrive. It also helps Willard Community Center continue its mission of supporting local families by increasing access to quality early childhood education and care.

Willard Community Center extends its sincere appreciation to the Woods Charitable Fund for partnering with us to create brighter futures for children and families throughout Lincoln.
