2027 Community Banner — As a sponsor of our 2027 community banner, your businesses will play an important role in keeping our program strong. So why sponsor Poppy Preschool?

  • A full year of visibility. Your logo stays on our street-facing banner for all of 2027, seen every day by families, neighbors, walkers, and drivers.

  • A direct link to your business. Each logo includes a QR code to your website, so anyone passing by can find you in seconds.

  • A loyal local audience. Our families live, shop, and hire services in Davis, and they make a point of supporting the businesses that support our school.

  • Public thanks on social media. We recognize every sponsor on our school’s social media pages.

  • Real community impact. Your contribution goes straight to classroom materials, play yard improvements, and keeping early learning affordable for Davis families.

Sponsorship levels are available in Bronze ($250), Silver ($500), Gold ($1,000), and Platinum ($2,000).

Choose your level any pay online by December 1, 2026, so your logo is included when the banner goes to print.
