Growing More Than Children. Growing Community.
At Queen’s Royal Treasures, caring for children also means supporting the families and community surrounding them.
Through QRT Community Care, we create opportunities to share resources, reduce waste, help families stretch their budgets, and teach our Treasures the importance of generosity, service, responsibility, and caring for others.
🌱 Our Community Garden
Our QRT Community Garden gives children opportunities to experience learning from the ground up.
Children can participate in age-appropriate gardening experiences as they learn about plants, food, nature, responsibility, healthy eating, patience, teamwork, and caring for God's creation.
As our garden grows, its harvest provides another opportunity to share with and support our QRT families.
The garden isn't simply about growing food.
We're growing knowledge, responsibility, healthy habits, and community.
👕 The Royal Exchange
Give What You Can. Take What You Need.
Our Royal Exchange is a family resource-sharing program designed to give gently used items another purpose while helping families access things they may need.
Families may donate clean, gently used items such as:
• Children's clothing
• Shoes
• Coats and seasonal items
• Toys
• Books
• Baby and children's items
• Household necessities
• Other approved family resources
For Our Enrolled QRT Families
Items available through the Royal Exchange are shared among our enrolled childcare families at no cost.
Families are encouraged to give when they can and take what they need.
No family should ever feel embarrassed about using the Exchange. That's exactly why it's here.
For Our Greater Community
When available, individuals and families who are not currently enrolled at QRT may also shop selected Royal Exchange items at affordable, Goodwill-style prices.
Proceeds from community purchases are reinvested into QRT to help purchase supplies and resources that support our children and programs.
Give. Share. Grow. Repeat.
What one family has outgrown may be exactly what another family needs.
🎁 Holiday Giving &
Toys for Tots
Making the Holidays a Little Brighter
The spirit of giving is an important part of the QRT community.
Queen’s Royal Treasures proudly participates in the Marine Toys for Tots Program each year, helping connect children and families with the joy and support of the holiday season.
Through our annual participation and other seasonal giving efforts, we encourage our QRT families and Treasures to experience the importance of generosity, compassion, gratitude, and serving others.
Information regarding annual Toys for Tots participation, eligibility, registration, collection efforts, and distribution will be shared with families during the holiday season.
Giving is another way we grow.
