Noble Studios and Sierra Computing Group Donate Laptops to UNR’s Early Head Start
Noble Studios and Sierra Computer Group are thrilled to announce the donation of 10 laptops to the University of Nevada Reno’s Early Head Start Program. The donation was made possible through Noble Studios’ philanthropic arm, Noble Deeds in partnership with Sierra Computing Group.
Early Head Start is a comprehensive child development program for poverty-level pregnant women and families with children ranging from 0-3 years old. The faculty is dedicated to ensuring the healthy development of each child enrolled in the program, as well as identifying any areas where the child may need additional support. The program offers various education evaluations that are typically performed online, as well as a program called ChildPlus, which houses the screenings, emergency contacts and health information for each child in the program. Needless to say, it is vital for each of the teachers to have working computers.
Because the funding for the program is federal and grants are issued either as competitive or pass-through by the state, they can be extremely difficult to obtain, especially when it comes to new computers. Noble Deeds became aware that this critical program was in need of new computers and coordinated with the agency’s information technologies partner, Sierra Computer Group, to help wipe and reformat as many machines possible for donation.
“We are so grateful to have found an organization like UNR’s Early Head Start to donate computers to,” said Season Lopiccolo, COO and Co-founder of Noble Studios. “Their commitment to providing early care and education services for children in need, teen parents, foster children and families experiencing homelessness is incredibly important in a community like ours.”
