Ready, Set, Let's Play - It's Little Star's Auction Day !

THANK YOU to all our game-changers who made our auction such a success. We deeply appreciate everyone who donated items, volunteered, attended, gave a financial gift, and all our amazing sponsors.

Your generosity made it possible to raise $210,114 to care for our school, support our teachers, and fund Little Star's financial aid program. What an incredible achievement!

What does Little Star do with funds from the auction?

  • We depend on auction funds to support our financial aid program over the next 2 years. We have budgeted to give away at least $250,000 in aid before our next auction. Our annual fundraising and endowment also help provide funds for the financial aid program.
     

  • Tuition only covers about 80% of our operating costs, and auction funds plus our annual fundraising help us balance our $1.4 million dollar budget.
     

  • The auction helps fund annual cost-of-living wage increases over the next 2 years for teachers and staff. We'll spend close to $1.1 million on payroll this school year.

We are fortunate to live in a community that values and supports high quality early learning programs. Little Star would not be what it is today without your support. Thank you for all you do!

One of the gifts of the Montessori tradition is that we see who the kids are, what they’re interested in, what sparks them, what excites them, and we build on that. Because once you start building on their confidence, they can do anything.
