NAVIGATE OUR NEW WEBPAGE

San Mateo County is currently experiencing a critical shortage of licensed child care, preschool and after school programs. For years, this crisis has been impacting families, children, and the economic prosperity of the region. In order to address this child care facility shortage, solutions must come from a collaborative multi-sector approach comprised of a variety of individuals and organizations. Build Up for San Mateo County’s Children has compiled the following resources to support the efforts of our partners on the path to developing new child care facilities.

Build Up Partners with the COVID-19 Childcare Project With the current COVID-19 shelter-in-place order, childcare providers are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Private providers –especially those operating in home-based settings – often have limited financial means. They operate with small profit margins and are particularly vulnerable. Your donation to COVID-19 Childcare Project empowers a response to the needs and demands of a community affected by COVID-19.
