BELMONT, NC, UNITED STATES, June 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Preschoolers at The Learning Experience in Belmont are making a difference in their community through the preschool’s annual “Let’s Grant Wishes” fundraising campaign benefiting Make-A-Wish.
During the month-long campaign in April, preschoolers, families and staff members raised $10,625 in support of Make-A-Wish, helping grant life-changing wishes for children living with critical illnesses. The initiative reflects The Learning Experience’s mission to make a positive difference in the lives of children, their families and the communities it serves.
Throughout the preschool fundraising campaign, children participated in hands-on activities that brought the campaign to life. Guided by center leaders Vivek Gaddam, Ashley Washing, Sarah Ballard, and Brittney Ellis and philanthropic mascots “Grace the Greyhound” and “Charity Chihuahua,” preschoolers wrote encouraging letters to wish children, participated in fundraising events and explored classroom activities focused on compassion and helping others.
“At The Learning Experience, we are committed to providing high-quality childcare and early education that goes well beyond the ABCs and 123s,” said Brad Wahl, Chief Operating Officer of The Learning Experience. “We are incredibly proud to partner with Make-A-Wish to create a meaningful difference in the communities we serve while inspiring the next generation of philanthropists.”
Preschoolers, families and staff members at The Learning Experience in Belmont came together in support of Make-A-Wish through donations, events and classroom activities. Their efforts raised funds and awareness to help grant wishes for children living with critical illnesses.
The preschool fundraising campaign extends learning beyond the classroom by showing children how acts of kindness, generosity and service can make a difference in the lives of others. It also highlights how early childhood education programs can teach empathy and compassion through real-world experiences.
The “Let’s Grant Wishes” campaign is part of The Learning Experience’s proprietary philanthropy curriculum, which introduces children to concepts such as kindness, inclusion, generosity and community service through engaging, age-appropriate experiences. Through hands-on participation, children learn that even small acts of giving can help others and strengthen their communities, helping them understand the value of giving back.
Since 2018, children, families and staff members across The Learning Experience centers nationwide have collectively raised more than $11.5 million for Make-A-Wish. The annual fundraising campaign reflects The Learning Experience’s commitment to providing high-quality childcare and early childhood education while making a positive difference in the lives of children, their families and the communities it serves.
