Since 2016, we’ve been supporting the most vulnerable children, many from broken families, by providing three meals a day and sensory-based play learning. In 2025, we care for 62 children (from a few months old to 5/6 years old) who benefit from this essential early education.

As a volunteer, you’ll assist with classroom tasks, create play-based learning activities, and support developmental learning. You’ll have the chance to learn directly from our team while contributing to the children’s growth in a meaningful way. On some days, you’ll also accompany the Rise Creche Coordinator on outreach visits to other preschools we support.
