Fun Time Early Childhood Academy Receives $170,000 Grant from Naples Children & Education Foundation
Kate Esperanza and Nyla Perry
Funds will be instrumental in supporting initiatives to enhance the quality of FTA programs by supporting teacher salaries and facility renovations.
Specifically, a portion of the grant will be allocated towards teacher salaries, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the growth and development of our young learners. Additionally, funds will be earmarked for renovating the kitchen facilities at our recently acquired location on Santa Barbara Boulevard, which serves 85 children aged one to five.
This grant award follows another significant contribution from NCEF. FTA was granted $275,000 in a separate initiative to expand our services to additional children. This expansion includes establishing new locations at Poinciana Elementary and Golden Gate High School, allowing us to extend our reach and impact within the community.
"We are grateful to the Naples Children & Education Foundation for their ongoing support and commitment to early childhood education," said Campbell, Executive Director of Fun Time Early Childhood Academy. "These grants will enable us to sustain and expand our efforts in providing high-quality education and care to the children entrusted to us."
