We are a small non-profit (501c3) local business dedicated to serving children and families for over 31 years. The Growing Room has consistently provided safe and enriching environments for children in the San Ramon Valley, and relies on enrollment and tuition as our only source of revenue.
While operating under strict safety guidelines, enrollment is at much too low a level to sustain operations. We are hoping for more Federal relief to be approved for small businesses like ours impacted by COVID-19. The Growing Room is facing a $350K shortfall and needs your immediate support!
Without ongoing donations and increased enrollment, the quality childcare and services our community relies on will end due to our having to close our doors.
