Ways to Give
Build Brighter Futures for the children in our community!
Your donation to Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers funds so much more than childcare. Your support encourages a lifelong love of learning. You inspire them to work as teams, use their imaginations, to think critically, and solve problems. Your generosity sets them up for success, both in school and in life. In short, your gift changes lives!
Support our extraordinary educators and make a lifelong impact for local children!
For most of us, there is that one teacher who stands out in our minds as a life-changing educator. Whether he or she made us feel seen or heard, sparked an interest in a particular subject, or simply encouraged us to be the best we could be, there’s little doubt that we can still feel that teacher’s impact on our lives today.
Thanks to your generous support, at Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers, our classrooms are full of highly qualified, passionate, caring, life-changing educators! Teachers like Keieve Colbert, our Easton School Age Site Director, are the heart and soul of the Critchlow Adkins experience, directly empowering young lives every day. Keieve has made it her mission to create a safe, nurturing learning space for her students. As she says, “I cannot control what happens to them outside of here; but, once they arrive, the kids are in a safe environment.”
Your gift to Critchlow Adkins today makes a lifelong impact on the children we serve. You give them the opportunity to learn from incredible teachers like Keieve and fund educational, enriching programming that gives them the tools to thrive and succeed!

As long as the distribution is paid directly to Critchlow Adkins from your IRA, the amount will not be counted in your taxable income for the year, which may result in tax savings for you!
