Our Nest Builders Program
At The Learning Nest Co, we believe community is built feather by feather - and sometimes that looks like a handheld mirror, a bag of buttons or a stack of recyclables.
Our Nest Builders Program invites families to help grow our creative spaces by donating materials that will make our Atelier come alive. Each item in our Wish List has a dollar value and when you donate it, that value becomes a credit you can use towards any one of our services. It’s our way of saying thank you for helping our nest thrive.
For our larger items (listed separately), we kindly ask that you contact us first, just so we can make sure we haven’t already had one gifted. We’d love families you bring only what appears on our current Wish List, but if you have something special you think might support our spaces, please reach out. Our Wish List will be updated as needed to reflect what our little community needs most. If you have any items that you are wanting to donate, our centre is open 10-3 Monday-Friday.
