These vibrant displays captivate visitors of all ages, showcasing the artistry behind beloved picture books.  Every Artist Starts Little (E.A.S.L.) is a monthly early childhood education program focusing on literacy and fine art. It emphasizes sensory play and process art while developing fine motor skills. <\/p>\n<p>With programming focused on children ages 0-5, this service provides targeted early reading strategies and hands-on experiences. The small group setting allows for individualized learning while still encouraging social interaction for both children and their mothers. This critical program is well-loved by the community but generally goes underfunded as it serves a smaller and specific audience. Funds would be used to provide art supplies and books for each child to take home.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 6,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Community Foundation of Abilene ($500)<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: Occurs monthly, funds would be spent for 2027 programming <br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: West Central Texas<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 0-5<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs. <br \/>\nContact First Name: Kayla<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Young<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: (325) 673-4586<br \/>\nContact Email: kayla@nccil.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: National Center for Children\u2019s Illustrated Literature Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: The NCCIL Mailing Address: 102 Cedar Street City: Abilene State: Texas Postal Code: 79601 Main Phone: (325) 673-4586 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.nccil.org\/ Employer ID Number: 75-2733048 Organization Tax Status: 501C 3 Proposal Information [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10464,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10463\/revisions\/10464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
