Early Learning Centers Can Help Decorate the Capitol Holiday Tree
All early learning programs are invited to participate to highlight the need for more funding for high quality early education programs.
The Pre-K for PA campaign is helping to decorate the PA Capitol holiday tree with hundreds of ornaments made by children from across the state. The annual tree lighting ceremony led by the Governor and First Lady Wolf is a marquee event that helps to put a spotlight on the need for more funding to expand high quality early education programs.
All early learning programs are invited to participate. Any artwork that can be hung and strung on a tree is appropriate to submit. However here's what is needed:
- Each ornament must have the child's name and the town where the early learning center is located written on them.
- Please attach a piece of yarn to each ornament so that it can be easily placed on the tree.
Ornaments must be mailed no later than Tuesday, November 13, 2018. Please mail the ornaments to: PennAEYC, 415 Market St., Suite 206, Harrisburg, PA 17101.

Pre-K for PA is an issue campaign supported by individuals and organizations across Pennsylvania who believe that investing in our children is the right choice and an urgent necessity. Our vision is that every 3- and 4-year-old in Pennsylvania will have access to high-quality pre-k. We will not endorse nor oppose candidates, but rather we will advocate on behalf of this vision for Pennsylvania’s children, schools and
communities. For more information www.prekforpa.org.
