The Nelie Waller Scholarship Fund honors the legacy of Nelie Waller, the founder of our school, who dedicated her life to providing children with a developmentally appropriate education. Nelie’s vision, ahead of its time, emphasized the importance of play-based learning and set a high standard for both her staff and the quality of education offered at our school. She was deeply committed to nurturing children’s growth and development, and her approach became a model for educational excellence in our community.
The scholarship was established shortly after Nelie’s retirement in 2001 to ensure that every child, regardless of their family’s financial situation, has access to the high-quality education she pioneered. By supporting this fund, you are helping to sustain Nelie’s tradition of educational excellence and ensuring that her impactful legacy continues to inspire generations to come. Your contribution directly helps families in need and preserves the vision of a nurturing, developmentally-appropriate learning environment that Nelie Waller championed.
With your support, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of children and families, carrying Nelie’s work forward for many years to come.
