We’re so excited to invite you to our 2nd Annual Silent Auction—a fun, welcoming, and free community event for everyone to enjoy! This special evening supports our young artists by helping provide the materials and resources they need to explore their creativity and grow their talents.
Bring a friend, spread the word, and come be part of a joyful night filled with creativity and connection. We’ll have food trucks and beverages on site, so you can grab a bite, relax, and enjoy the experience while browsing the auction.
To help make this event truly special, we’re also reaching out to our amazing local businesses and organizations for donations. Items, services, gift cards, vouchers, tickets—every contribution, big or small, helps make a meaningful difference for our students.

Clothing & Toy Exchange
Friday, December 5th!
This special event is all about community, sustainability, and giving — a chance to refresh your kids’ wardrobes for the new season, find holiday gifts for families in need, and support our school at the same time.
We’ll be accepting gently used children’s clothing (newborn–age 12) and toys in good condition (manipulatives, ride-on toys, puzzles, and books. No stuffies, highchairs, or strollers, please).
When it’s time to donate, please bring items clean and sorted by age to help us keep things easy and organized for everyone.
🎟️ donation-based entry per shopper (you choose the amount!) — take home as many items as you need while helping fund our school programs and activities!
Let’s come together to make this a joyful, meaningful exchange for all.
Partnerships
Throughout the school year we collaborate with companies whose products we love and are happy to recommend to you! Here are the ones we get asked about the most:
Nap Mats
We love the urban infant's 'Tot Cot'! We are an “Ambassador School” for this type of bed roll so, if you purchase from the site with our code, you will get 15% off your order and Free Shipping! CODE:SLEEPER0517
The mats fit small and large nap cots, they're durable, cozy, easy to transport, wash, and dry!
Labels
Losing something your child cherishes can be tough—for both of you! Taking a simple step like labeling their belongings can make a big difference. Labels help ensure their things are easy to recognize and get back to the right place, sparing you the stress of mix-ups or accidental swaps. It’s a small habit that brings much peace of mind! Use code: SAVE20 for 20% off your purchase.
We love the quality and variety provided by
Non-toxic disinfecting cleaning solution
Our school uses Force of Nature as an all-round cleaning solution. Force of Nature is a cleaning solution that uses a simple process to turn water, salt, and vinegar into a powerful cleaner and disinfectant. Through electrolysis, it creates hypochlorous acid, an effective agent that kills 99.9% of germs, including bacteria and viruses. It’s a chemical-free option that’s safe for people, pets, and the environment.
Donations
We accept donations all year round, however we have a limited space for bulk donations. If you have clothing or toys you'd like to donate, please contact one of our Admin Staff to see what the school might be currently in need of. Whatever we can not use will be dropped off at the Pregnancy and Parenting Support of San Luis Obispo- a local non-profit organization supporting families to ensure they have everything they need for the arrival of their baby.
Please visit our to see what we are always happy to have an extra of! ;)
