This season, give the gift of quality child care.
For parents with young children, the holiday season can be a time of magic and joy, but also a whole lot of stress!
During the holidays, many parents find expenses mount and schedules change drastically. Holiday breaks mean their children are home from school, while many parents continue to work.
These issues are real for many San Francisco families, but they are particularly challenging for families that are already struggling to make ends meet. That’s where Children’s Council comes in!
For 50 years, we have been helping families find and pay for quality child care and preschool that fits their unique situation.
Nothing is more important to parents than knowing their children are in safe and capable hands.
This holiday season, will you give a gift that makes quality child care possible for more of our city’s families?
Your donation to Children’s Council will help ensure we can be here to assist families who need us – throughout the holiday season and at every time of year. Your gift now will help make sure that in the months ahead we can support more families like Janelle’s*.
JANELLE’S* STORY
Janelle first came to Children’s Council because she needed immediate child care for her two toddlers. She had recently graduated from an intensive job training program in the construction trades. When we met her, she’d just landed a well-paying job – a wonderful development for her and her family. The hours, however, were grueling – her day started at 4:15 in the morning and ended at 9:30 at night.
Throughout her training program, and now with a job that had a variable schedule, finding child care had been an ongoing headache. Making matters even more complex, Janelle’s three-year-old son is autistic, and her two-year-old had begun presenting with developmental delays.
No two families are alike, and our Family Support Navigators are experts at working with parents, child care providers and city agencies to find workable solutions that bring parents peace of mind.
That’s what we did for Janelle as we helped solve her child care crisis. And we will be here for her again if she ever needs us.

Quality child care isn’t a privilege. Every family deserves it so that parents can work and achieve their goals and so children can blossom and reach their full potential.
This holiday season, please make a generous gift to Children’s Council – to support children and families – and to strengthen our entire city. (And remember, any gift you send by December 31 may be eligible for a 2024 tax deduction.)
Thank you from all of us at Children’s Council of San Francisco, and we wish you and your family very happy holidays and a healthy New Year!
Thank you for being with us for 50 years and counting!
