Donating to BCS

To continue to offer multi-age, experiential education for the whole child, Bethlehem Children’s School relies on our community’s generosity. Your support goes to furthering our mission of inspiring a life-long love of learning while developing a deep connection to self, others, and the world. 

BCS is dependent on the generous support of our families and community to continue providing the programs we all love. Every year, we must raise at least $50,000 of additional funding to balance our annual budget. The additional funding is needed this year more than ever. 

We are so excited to share an opportunity to make a lasting impact on our community and the lives of students. Bethlehem Children’s School is embarking on a project to reimagine our campus and create new nature-based play and outdoor learning spaces, and we invite you to be a part of our journey.

To bring this vision to life, we are offering a special way for you to contribute: by purchasing personalized Leaves and Acorns on our Giving Tree and helping the project grow. These Leaves and Acorns will be displayed on our outdoor Giving Tree sign to show the generous contributions of BCS community members who helped kick off this new initiative!

5. Help Grow Our Library

Did you know that we’re growing a library? We have lots of amazing books already that we can’t wait to share with our students! Our library wishlist is here, if you’d like to purchase a title to add to our shelves. You can email Nicole (nicole@bethlehemchildrensschool.org) to add an inscription.

If you have you donations of classroom equipment to share, or have the time and skills to help better our school by volunteering, we gratefully accept in-kind donations, too. Please drop us a line—518-478-0224, or admin@bethlehemchildrensschool.org—to make arrangements.

We hope you will join us in supporting our students’ important discoveries—this year and for many years to come. We wish you happiness, wellness, and muddy boots, galore!
