THE ANNUAL FUND
The Impact You Make!
Dear Daycroft Community,
For 56 years, Daycroft School has been dedicated to empowering each student with confidence, compassion, and a lifelong love of learning. Our mission is to prepare children to become successful global citizens who embody core values, demonstrate leadership, and strive for excellence. Through our Montessori curriculum and supportive environment, we continue to inspire students to thrive both academically and personally.
To support this vision, we rely on tuition which covers 80% of our operating expenses, and generous contributions from our community through our Annual Fund. The Annual Fund is vital for enhancing the experiences of our students and teachers, allowing us to purchase classroom materials, send our teachers to Montessori training, enhance the school building and property, and ultimately create a rich learning environment for our students. Your participation in this year’s Annual Fund will make an immediate impact.
Thank you for being an integral part of the Daycroft community. Together, we can continue to inspire and empower our students for a bright future!
David Lee
Head of School
“The annual fund is very important…while we are paying tuition which is the backbone of our kids’ education, the annual fund pays for the heart and soul.”
