Chai: Kit Assembly | June 2nd | RSVP
“Research of early education suggests that building fine motor skills results in greater math and literacy proficiency, all of which contribute to stronger outcomes at school. ”
Chai: Kit Assembly
Chai for Charity's mission is to inspire people to give in creative ways; Chai: Kit Assembly is designed to inspire families to give their time so that we can collectively assemble 2,000 kits together. The kits are then donated to a local nonprofit who can get them to folks who need them in our community.
2,000 STEAM Kits for Preschoolers
Did you know 12% of Colorado children under age 5 live in poverty? And 51% of Colorado families live in a “child care desert.” Black and Hispanic/Latino families are disproportionately represented among those who live in a “child care desert.”
Programs offered by WOW! and other local organizations offer resources to enable local families to build their preschoolers’ fine motor, literacy and math skills so they’re more prepared for school.
Please RSVP | Limited Spots

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to participate? The event is free. Usually, we ask families to donate to help us buy supplies for the kits, but for our 2024 events, Chai for Charity donors are generously covering all supply costs.
Where should we park? The library has a spacious parking lot.
Is there a minimum age to participate? Donors as young as 18mo have been able to participate in Chai: Assembly events. The activity involves placing STEAM supplies (popsicle sticks, books, dice) in ziploc bags.
What should I expect from the event? We setup an assembly line with a different item at each station, and you take a ziploc bag to each station, add an item and continue down the line until your bag is filled. See photos for more.
Can I bring a friend who hasn't RSVP'd? Unfortunately, no. There is an occupancy limit at the library’s space, and we want to honor our commitment to them. We also have a limited amount of supplies earmarked for those who RSVP.
