Spotlight on Drew and Stacia Aman, WPDN Donors

1. How did you learn about WPDN? “We were honored to accompany Neil, Sue, and Hannah Menard to one (and now three) of your annual fund raising events shortly after we moved to Winter Park in 2020. Their passion for supporting your mission is inspiring and they knew we care deeply about early childhood education. The Winter Park Day Nursery is in our neighborhood and we love seeing your beautiful building and the children out at play as we drive in and out of the area.”

2. What moved you to donate? “Providing exemplary care and education to families of diverse socioeconomic background is expensive. Having been an educator in Virginia (Stacia) and having raised three children ourselves, we understand that it can be difficult for parents and caregivers to give extra money when they are already doing as much as they can often with less than they need. Once the children have aged out of the early childhood center, years may go by before a family could consider giving back to the school who gave them such a great start in life. We have a great responsibility as community members to help support your stability.” 

3. What would you say to others about the school? “Staff, students, and parents at Winter Park Day Nursery meet us with warmth and kindness. You’re up to the task of nurturing families and educating children regardless of ability to pay. The joy we experience when one of your students shares how important this great start was for them in their lives is inspiring and we are proud to be a part of what’s good in Winter Park, Florida.”
