Who We Are
The Children's Nature Academy is a five star NECPA accredited program serving the students, faculty and staff at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley community. Our program supports the healthy development of children physically, emotionally and cognitively by nurturing children's sense of wonder.
What We're Fundraising For
As the Children's Nature Academy faces rising costs, we are committed to keeping our programs affordable for the families we serve, especially student parents. Community donations play a crucial role in enhancing our classrooms with essential supplies and engaging activities. From art materials to sensory learning tools, your support helps us create a fun, educational environment where children can thrive every day!
Your Impact
Donations also allow us to cover expenses that would otherwise increase tuition costs for families, ensuring that quality early education remains accessible. By offsetting the costs of classroom materials, nutritious snacks, and outdoor learning experiences, your contribution directly impacts our ability to offer affordable, enriching programs that benefit both the children and their families. Thank you for helping us provide an exceptional start to every child’s journey!
