The Story
The Whitney Brothers Preschool Nature Benches were donated in the name of Annamarie Racanello, the grandmother of former NDA students. They now sit proud in the hallways of NDA, always a reminder of the kindness and love in her heart for her grandchildren and their future. Each morning, she would drop her them off at school making sure they arrived on time and ready for the day. When she passed away, the family did not want flowers. Instead, they asked friends and family to make a donation to NDA. These donations would benefit generations of students to come.
Kate, the principal of NDA, had noticed a specific area that could use some upgrading. The preschool learning center at the school is a warm, cozy, and safe place for students to congregate. However, upon entering the learning center, the only seating available was one the floor. The academy did not have sufficient seating for students, and Kate wanted to put the donation to use there. Annamaria, who was extremely practical and caring, would definitely approve of the legacy she has left at the school.
Kate chose to furnish the space with Whitney Brothers Nature View Straight Sofas, along with custom benches to accompany them. Whitney Brothers is renowned for crafting high-quality, durable, and child-friendly furniture. The academy chose the customizable preschool benches to create an inviting and engaging space for its preschoolers. These benches not only meet the highest safety standards but also boast a thoughtful design that aligns perfectly with the academy’s commitment to early childhood education. The benches and sofas have completely elevated the space, allowing for a more functional space. Stay tuned to hear more about our furniture and space design at NDA coming soon!
