Junior League of Long Island to Revitalize Belmont Child Care Association’s Anna House Playground
The Junior League of Long Island executed their signature project “Project Playground” in conjunction with Belmont Child Care Association on April 1.
More than 25 members of the Junior League gathered to assemble playground equipment donated with funds provided by the Junior League of Long Island to Anna House.
League members assembled playground equipment, cleaned flower beds and help to refurbish the garden area for Anna House’s children’s gardening program. Members also painted an interior area of Anna house.
“Belmont Child Care Association, Inc. (BCCA) is honored to have the Junior League of Long Island (JLLI) as a community partner as we work to change lives at the racetrack every day,” said BCCA’s Executive Director, Joanne K. Adams. “Our 2023 campaign Be Transformative! Nourishing Mind – Nourishing Body – Nourishing Family, focuses on the importance of health and leading active lives. BCCA was thrilled to work with the JLLI on this much needed Playground Improvement Project and we are exceedingly grateful to them for their incredible generosity.”
The Project Playground initiative demonstrates what can be accomplished when there is a common focus to make a difference in the lives of children and families on Long Island.
“We are proud to partner with BCCA to cultivate our signature project: Project Playground in conjunction with Anna House. This community partnership emphasizes the importance of safe spaces for children to learn and play. Playgrounds and early childhood play are the basis of imagination and teach our children the fundamentals of turning their creativity into reality,” said Cristine Bruno, current President of The Junior League of Long Island.
