Congrats to our own Ms. Callie! Thank you for your support Buncombe Partnership for Children 💙
Meet one of our newest Classroom Creativity Microgrant recipients: Callie at Asheville JCC Shalom Children's Center!
With her grant, a fairy garden sensory experience is being brought to life! We're talking soil, moss, pebbles, mini houses, tiny bridges, and lots of imaginative play. Children will explore textures, build together in small groups, and even help narrate a fairy story set right in their own classroom. This is exactly the kind of hands-on, wonder-filled learning that these microgrants are designed to support. We love seeing educators like Callie turn creative ideas into learning experiences for children.
Are YOU an early childhood educator in Buncombe County with a big (or small!) idea for your classroom? We offer $200 Classroom Creativity Microgrants for hands-on projects for children ages 0 to 5, including art, STEM, nature play, sensory experiences, and more. Applications are open through the end of the month and microgrants are awarded monthly. If you weren't selected before, you're welcome to reapply!
