Why is Your Donation Important?

The Explorium Scholarship Fund directly supports the working families of Summit County. Community focus groups have highlighted the need for affordable, consistent, and location based child care options throughout the County. Mountain Top Explorium aims to meet these needs through our programs and financial assistance. Rising costs for housing, food, and other essentials underscore the importance of funding for out-of-school time, which enables working families to maintain consistent working hours while ensuring their children are participating in enriching childcare activities. For more details about our successes with these program’s relaunch in January please read the 2024 Winter Update.

Where does funding go? 

Your donation directly supports the students and families of Summit County and their child care needs throughout the summer, after school and school break periods. We offer our after school and school break programs providing students with the biggest financial needs with financially accessible after school and school break programs. We also provide a reduced rate for all Summit School District families along with additional scholarships to families who require financial assistance. So far in 2024, we have awarded over $30K in scholarship funding.
