We are looking to raise enough funds so Reba Early Learning Center, a beloved Evanston childcare and community institution. Reba Early Learning Center is a small single site, non-profit preschool. It was founded in 1966 as Reba Place Day Nursery. During the mid-nineties Reba Place Day Nursery became incorporated. RELC is committed to the principles and values within our community.
The current parents are looking to raise funds so the students can get a playground at Reba’s outdoor lot. This will become a place for students (both existing and future) can have safe and fun outdoor time (when the weather permits!). Anyone who knows Reba (present and past families) can attest to what a special place it is and the role it plays in shaping our children to be loving, empathetic, curious, kind members of the community.
Please consider donating so we can hit our goal by May 15 and order the new equipment to be used this summer!

RELC Values, Philosophy, & Practices
Trust
Families
Learning
This curriculum features goals for children and adults. These goals help children feel confident about themselves and their group identity, to value and respect the identities of others, to be critical thinkers, and to stand up for injustice.
Anti-bias is an important component of the overall philosophy at RELC. We believe that bringing families of diverse backgrounds together is one that makes RELC a vital asset to the Evanston community.
