Annual Toy Drive
Unfortunately, there are many children who will go without presents, parties, visits from Santa and even food this holiday season. Every year Clarendon strives to ensure that every child in our organization gets at least one gift for the holidays, and sadly quite often this is the only toy or gift they will receive. Your donation will make a difference and bring a smile to the face of a child this Holiday Season. To donate click here and add the description “Toy Drive”.
Any support that you can offer, either by hosting a toy collection box, choosing a toy from our Amazon Wish List, adopting a family, or by donating directly to our Hope for the Holiday Toy Drive is greatly appreciated.
Donations can be mailed to:

Childcare
Clarendon Early Education Services, Inc. provides quality child care services to children from birth to 13 years, supporting families from diverse ethnic, social and economic backgrounds.
Philosophy:
Clarendon’s philosophy is based on the knowledge that children learn through positive interactions with caring adults who understand how children develop and provide opportunities for meaningful hands-on learning experiences. Children learn best through activities that engage their senses and need individual support as they explore and discover themselves, others and the world around them in the context of their families and cultures. Safe, healthy environments with a robust nutrition program set the stage for improved outcomes in school and in life.
