EITC Program
Support Schreiber through EITC
Businesses have another way to make a financial contribution to Schreiber: Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program. For the first time, money that would otherwise be used to pay your Pennsylvania tax liability can now be directed to support Schreiber’s S.T.A.R.S. Preschool and Circle of Friends Academy child care, as well as our various recreation programs, including our summer camps.
Educational Improvement Organization
Schreiber is an approved Educational Improvement Organization (EIO). We partner with Lancaster County-based high schools to provide supplemental learning opportunities in childcare (CC), human services (HS) and disability inclusion (DI). These scholastic enhancement programs provide innovative activities of learning which benefit children served at Schreiber.
They also provide service-learning opportunities for high school students that allow them to fulfill graduation requirements. Throughout the year, students may volunteer with our Circle of Friends Academy, S.T.A.R.S. Preschool, Respite, Club 625 and Camp Schreiber. View our EIO flyer to learn more about these opportunities or contact Jenn Coleman at 717-393-0425 ext. 106 or via email at jcoleman@schreiberpediatric.org.
Prekindergarten Scholarship Organization
Schreiber is an approved Prekindergarten Scholarship Organization. Contributions in this category help to subsidize tuition payments for low-income qualifying families who attend our S.T.A.R.S. Preschool or Circle of Friends Academy childcare.
Since the 1970s, Schreiber has been proud to offer inclusive learning opportunities bringing together typically developing children with peers who have a special need. As a benefit to parents, pre-k students who require therapy services may receive those services while attending preschool or childcare.

Rich Riva, President and Owner, Wire-Mesh Products Inc.
“As a small business owner, the EITC provides an opportunity to direct PA tax dollars to organizations and causes that are important to us. We are able to witness firsthand the impact these dollars have on our community. These tax dollars have to be paid each year, so why not direct them to organizations we wish to support? Who wouldn’t want to do this!”
