Our Child Development Program is partnering with the Alpha Phi Chapter of Alabama Alpha Delta Kappa to support patients at Children's of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham.

We are collecting NEW school supplies to donate to children receiving care at the hospital. Because of infection control guidelines, all donated items must be brand new. The hospital uses these supplies daily, and each child receives new materials to help prevent the spread of germs and illness.

Items Needed:

-24-pack crayons
-Washable markers
-Spiral-bound notebooks
-Composition notebooks

Donation Drop-Off:
Please place your donations in the box in the CHD classroom located in LI 204 at NACC.

If you are unable to drop off your donation, contact Mrs. Lisa Murphy to arrange a pickup at [email protected].

Every donation, no matter the size, helps brighten a child's day during a hospital stay. Thank you for supporting this important community service project and for helping make a difference in the lives of children and their families.

If you're an early childhood educator, homeschool parent, or simply looking for a meaningful book to enjoy with your child, this one is an absolute must-have!

Mary Adkins, a 30-year veteran early childhood educator, has created a beautiful picture book that inspires children to put down the screens, head outdoors, and discover the incredible world around them.

Nature's Alphabet, Numbers, and Colors weaves together nature, science, literacy, math, and color recognition through stunning real-life photographs that encourage curiosity, observation, and exploration. It's the perfect resource for preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, and early elementary classrooms—or for families who love learning together.

I highly recommend adding this book to your classroom or home library. It's one of those books that children will come back to again and again!
