Project Title: Gaga Pit
Project Description:

Greene County Child Care Center is a non-profit childcare and preschool located in Ruckersville, VA that has provided high-quality childcare for the local community for over 30 years. We are one of two centers in Greene County and the only one that serves hot lunches, breakfast and an afternoon snack all while following the USDA guidelines for healthy food. Through fundraising, donations, and parent and community involvement, GCCCC offers a loving, nurturing environment at affordable rates no matter a family’s financial situation.

GCCCC is requesting $1000 to put towards the purchase of supplies to build a Gaga Pit for our school age and summer students. This Gaga pit will offer a much needed outdoor activity for this age group. After much thought and assessment, the Board of Directors has determined this is the best option for the limited outdoor space available. Our students love playing outdoors and are excited about this opportunity.

We will be partnering with the Greene County Public Schools Tech Center to have their woodworking students construct and deliver the unit. This partnership will cut costs significantly while providing the tech students with a chance to practice and put their skills to use.

Total Project Budget: $1500

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): GCCCC is constantly fundraising. We recently wrapped up an ice cream social with a local restaurant and are preparing to sell bulbs as our next fundraiser.

Project Duration: 1 week
Geographical Area Served: Greene County (and students enrolled from surrounding counties)
Age Group To Be Served: Ages 6-12
