Merryhill Preschool Campers Donate Essential Items to Local Nonprofit

Campers held a donation drive to benefit local families in need

Summer campers at Merryhill Preschool in Castle Rock recently donated diapers and essential items to the Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot, a nonprofit organization that collects and distributes diapers to local families in need. Throughout July, campers held a donation drive to benefit the organization, which distributed the items to families within the community.

Merryhill Preschool instills a sense of social responsibility at an early age by implementing opportunities for students to learn about the importance of giving back to their communities and helping others in need. Their signature Links to Learning preschool curriculum emphasizes social-emotional learning as a stepping stone for kindergarten and beyond, working with children to help recognize and label emotions in themselves and others, while learning how they fit into their community and the larger world.
