Welcome Visually Impaired Preschool Services - $250,000 to Build a Preschool for Blind and Visually Impaired Children 

Goals

• To provide educational services to visually impaired & blind children

 

Overview

VIPS has been serving children who are blind and visually impaired for 25 years in KY. There are two offices- Louisville and Lexington. Our teachers travel most of the state to provide therapy and education to the children in their homes. Lexington's sister office started a preschool program to provide more services for their children with visual impairments. This state of the art facility is not only used for the preschool but also provides programs for children birth to three that are visually impaired. We, in the Lexington location, want to do the same for our children. The problem is our current building will not house a licensed preschool. To see our dream come true to offer more programs and services to children in the Central and Eastern areas of KY we will need to move to another facility. With your help, this new facility will provide children with an enriched educational environment that will meet their needs for hands on learning and meeting their developmental milestones.

How will the 250K be Used?
Budget Notes: This Budget will not cover overhead cost for our program. We receive most of our funding through fund raising and grants. The money awarded to us from Pepsi will strictly be used to obtain a new facility and start fund raising for the preschool. Estimate cost for facility, 1 million.
