Did you know?

  • Over 2,000 children in San Francisco are currently waitlisted for the subsidized child care their families urgently need.
  • Many of these children and their families live in crowded single-room occupancy (SRO) housing, where they lack safe spaces to play, learn, and grow.
  • The disruption and isolation caused by the pandemic have left an aftermath of heightened emotional and behavioral challenges among young children.
  • Preschool teachers in San Francisco earn 44% less than their counterparts teaching kindergarten through third grade, leading to a severe citywide shortage of qualified early childhood educators.

For nearly 50 years, Wu Yee Children’s Services has been a vital partner for thousands of San Francisco families in need. 

Through Head Start and Early Head Start programs, home-based services, family resource centers, and comprehensive teacher training initiatives, Wu Yee ensures children enter kindergarten ready to thrive academically and socially. Parents can secure stable employment knowing their children are in safe, nurturing care. Teachers, many coming directly from the communities they serve, receive the essential training, support, and recognition they deserve.

Investing in early childhood education pays remarkable dividends. For every $1 invested, society saves $17 in future expenses related to remediation, social services, reduced workforce productivity, and public safety.

Today, however, critical services provided by Wu Yee are under serious threat due to significant proposed cuts in federal funding to City and State agencies and nonprofits alike. Your support is urgently needed to protect and sustain these indispensable programs.
