With your support, we are transformed our second floor into a bright new STEAM Learning Lab! In it, Hartford’s youngest children can engage in hands-on educational activities, develop critical thinking, enhance their love for learning, and build foundational skills toward careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics).
Opened in January 2023, the Learning Lab is the latest exciting enhancement to the nationally-accredited Women’s League Child Development Center. Women’s League is the largest single-site early education center in Greater Hartford, with capacity for serving up to 240 children in its state-of-the-art building.
The STEAM Learning Lab:
Gives children the joy of learning about insects, butterflies, seeds, soil, ramps, weather, machines, planets, construction, and much more.
Gives Hartford’s children — regardless of their family’s income — the same access and opportunity as their suburban counterparts for STEAM foundational learning.
Nurtures the Black and Brown scientists, technology professionals, engineers, and mathematicians of tomorrow — currently severely underrepresented in STEAM careers (which offer the most opportunities and income!)
We are so grateful to ALL the donors to our STEAM Lab! Very special thanks to those who made Leadership Gifts:
Deepest Gratitude to Shawn Wooden
We don’t have enough words to thank Women’s League alumnus and former Connecticut State Treasurer Shawn Wooden, whose fundraising for the STEAM Learning Lab was transformative. His gifts will help sustain the Lab for years to come!
Big thanks for children’s books!
Deepest thanks to the Epsilon Omicron Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha and to the Town & County Club for their extraordinarily generous donations of beautiful books!
