Desert Preschool Academy

Desert Preschool Academy is excited to receive the 2019 Anderson Children’s Foundation grant that will allow us to install a shade structure in our Indio, California site. Desert Preschool Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides little to no cost childcare to low income families. Currently Desert Preschool Academy has three sites in Indio, La Quinta and Mecca, California. The services we provide allow the parents/guardians that we serve to work and/or go to school while having their children in a safe and nurturing environment. The grant will allow us to put a shade structure that will allow for children to go out and play in the hot summer months. We are aware of the high cost of replacing the playground equipment and see the current lack of shade as being our largest deficit. Having adequate shade will allow Desert Preschool Academy to provide a safer environment for the families we serve. It will allow Desert Preschool Academy to provide children with the appropriate physical activity they need.
