Life-Saving Support: AED Donation
One of the most impactful contributions to our program has been the donation of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) from the London Strong Foundation.
The London Strong Foundation is a Grand Blanc–based nonprofit organization created in memory of London Eisenbeis, a young girl who tragically passed away from a heart condition. The foundation’s mission is to raise awareness of cardiac conditions and increase survival rates through CPR education and the placement of AEDs throughout the community .
Through fundraising and community efforts, they have donated dozens of AEDs to local organizations, helping ensure that life-saving equipment is accessible when seconds matter most .
This donation brings an added layer of safety to our daycare. In emergency situations such as sudden cardiac arrest, every minute without intervention significantly reduces survival chances, making immediate access to an AED critical .
Having an AED on-site means:
Faster response in an emergency Increased safety for children, staff, and families Peace of mind knowing we are prepared
We are incredibly honored to be part of the London Strong Foundation’s mission to save lives.
Wickedly Wild Finds Up cycling & Liquidation for donationing a Little Tikes Kitchen to our outdoor play area, as well as multiple curriculum resources.
We are also grateful for the support of Oaki, a company known for creating high-quality, durable outdoor gear for children.
Oaki specializes in weather-resistant clothing designed for active, outdoor play, including waterproof rain suits, outerwear, and base layers that allow children to stay comfortable in all conditions .
Their donation of rain suits has made it possible for children in our care to:
Participate in outdoor learning regardless of weather Stay dry, warm, and comfortable Fully engage in nature-based play and exploration
Access to proper outdoor gear removes barriers and ensures that every child — regardless of what they own at home — can safely enjoy our outdoor classroom.
We are incredibly thankful for the generous support from Keenz, who has provided a multi-child stroller wagon for our program.
Keenz designs family-focused stroller wagons built for safety, comfort, and versatility, featuring multi-passenger seating, all-terrain wheels, and safety-tested construction .
Their stroller wagon plays a critical role in our program by:
Supporting safe group transportation Assisting in emergency evacuation situations Allowing children of all ages to participate in outings Making outdoor experiences more accessible and inclusive
This piece of equipment is not just convenient — it is essential for both daily operations and emergency preparedness.
💛 Supporting Development Through Play: Harkla Donation
We are incredibly grateful to Harkla for their thoughtful and impactful donation to our classroom.
Harkla is a company deeply rooted in supporting children with sensory needs, autism, and developmental challenges through purposeful, therapeutic products. Their mission to empower families, educators, and caregivers with tools that promote regulation, focus, and confidence aligns beautifully with our approach to early childhood care.
The resources provided by Harkla have enhanced our ability to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all children—especially those who benefit from additional sensory input and calming strategies. Whether it’s helping a child self-regulate during transitions or providing comfort during overwhelming moments, these tools are making a meaningful difference in our daily routines.
In a program where we serve children from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying developmental needs, access to high-quality sensory supports is invaluable. Harkla’s generosity allows us to meet children where they are and support their growth in a way that is both compassionate and developmentally appropriate.
We are truly honored to partner with a company that is so clearly committed to making a difference in the lives of children and families.
