Who We Are

The Children's Nature Academy is a five star accredited childcare program serving the students, faculty and staff as well as the local community. Our program supports the healthy development of children physically, emotionally and cognitively by nurturing children's sense of wonder, while providing employment opportunities and a variety of hands-on learning experiences for UW-Eau Claire students!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!
