O'Briens Montessori Centre's Pyjama Day

Join us in making a difference for foster kids!

Every child deserves the chance to feel safe, supported, and confident in their future, but for many children in foster care, that is far from reality.

Frequent moves between homes and schools can disrupt their learning, relationships, and sense of stability. Without the right support, these challenges can have lasting effects on their education, wellbeing, and future opportunities.

That is why we are taking part in National Pyjama Day.

By wearing our PJs and raising funds, we are helping The Pyjama Foundation give children in foster care something truly life changing: a dedicated Pyjama Angel mentor.

Your donation will help recruit, screen, train, and match a “Pyjama Angel” with a child who needs them most. These volunteer mentors do more than read books or help with homework. They build trust, confidence, and a love of learning that can change the course of a child’s life.

Together, we can help children in foster care dream bigger and believe in themselves.

Be the reason a child in care believes in themselves. Donate today.


A message from our Business Owners, Natasha & Kam:

"Having been in this industry for 20 years I have never seen the foster system more in need of support.


This need for more caregivers whether that is short term or long term is very much in crisis.  We have been touched personally by this with our two adorable twins master B and Miss A.  They were both at one of our childcare’s after being removed from their home from severe neglect they were only 18 months  old at this point.  They were removed from their parents permanently and separated from their three other siblings.  They were placed in short term care until long term could be found.  This was proving impossible because no one wanted to take 18 month year twins.  As they faced yet another separation as the only option appeared to be separating them .  The thought of this broke our hearts these poor little babies had endured so much in their short lives and was facing yet another distressing separation.  

My husband and myself stepped in and turned our lives upside down at the ripe old age of 50 to provide a future for them a future together in a loving home.

Their story is not uncommon unfortunately.  So please if you have space in your home and heart to consider short or long term care please do.  If this is not possible perhaps you can donate this week to help support a system that is in despair 
.
 Thank you in advance, for every dollar raised we will match let’s work together to give a generous donation."
