We Would Love to Be Your End-of-Year Charity


We Have Accomplished So Much, and Your Donations Can Help Us Do More

We hope you are all doing well and staying safe. This year has been incredibly challenging in so many ways that were unfathomable this same time last year. As with most crises, we do everything in our power to overcome, and in doing so we learn that we are stronger than we ever imagined.

We want you all to know that we are still here for you. As an essential service to this community, we continue to serve parents & child care providers on a daily basis. This pandemic has confirmed what many of us already knew; the fact that child care is vital to the economy. Without a safe place to take our children, we cannot work…we cannot pay our bills…we cannot thrive!

In this email, you will find our annual ask for donations, as well as our 2019 Annual Report. Due to the chaos of COVID-19, we were not able to devote the necessary time to complete the annual report in March, as we had planned. However, we thought it would be better to share it with you late, than never. Please take a few minutes to see how many people we were able to serve in 2019, as well as the demographics related to this population. We truly enjoy laying out our data in a fun, colorful way that is relatable to our business.

We thank you for your time and your help in these achievements.

Happy & Safe Holidays to all, and we cannot wait to see you when we open our doors to the public again.
