Doylestown Health: Help 'Fill The Bucket' For New Children's Village

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown Health is launching a new initiative to help furnish, supply and equip the new Children's Village now under construction on the hospital’s campus.

Its "fill the bucket" campaign is aimed at encouraging community engagement and involvement as the new building nears completion.

Children’s Village is an early childhood education center that provides a rewarding and nurturing experience for the children of Doylestown Hospital Associates and families in the community.

As a fully-licensed and National Association for the Education of Young Children accredited school, the new Children’s Village facility will continue to prioritize the social, physical, emotional and cognitive development of all children.

The school is designed to help those enrolled reach their full potential by creating a dynamic environment for learning and playing.

The former Children’s Village, which operated on the hospital campus for 35 years, was destroyed by a tornado in August 2020. While no one was seriously injured, the building was damaged beyond repair.

Soon after, Doylestown Health announced that the rebuild would become a new priority of "One Vision: The Campaign for Doylestown Health." Thanks to the early support of lead donors and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, the structure of the new facility is nearly complete.

Donations towards the initiative will help outfit the indoor and outdoor spaces with equipment and supplies that will best allow the village's teachers to build a safe, educational, and welcoming environment. A strategic array of priority needs will be funded through this project, including books, craft supplies, tricycles, classroom furnishings, outdoor playground equipment, and much more.

Children’s Village is a fully licensed early childhood education center accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and holds the highest STAR-4 rating in the Pennsylvania Keystone STARS Quality Initiative.

Serving children from six weeks of age through kindergarten, Children’s Village is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Carefully designed curriculum at Children’s Village employs Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and concentrates on the behavioral, social, emotional, and intellectual well-being and growth of each individual student. It has operated as part of Doylestown Health since 1986.
