Early childhood care and education is essential to the growth of San Diego.
Data shows us that in addition to giving our youngest residents a chance to thrive later in life, investment in early childhood provides local businesses and working parents with more opportunities to grow – an important factor as we plan for the future of our regional economy.
But how are we doing as a region in San Diego County?
That question was the topic of conversation at a recent event hosted by The San Diego Foundation and San Diego Workforce Partnership. The event brought local leaders from all sectors together to discuss new research and hear from the decision makers who are critical to the future of early childhood efforts in the region.
But don’t worry if you missed it. We have you covered with two videos from the event.
The event demonstrated that the need for affordable, accessible child care impacts all our communities. The San Diego Foundation is committed to working together with philanthropy, government and business to pursue solutions that address this critical challenge.
Help us make child care more equitable, accessible and affordable for all families by supporting the Early Childhood Education & Development Initiative.
On August 9, 2022, we awarded $838,704 in Opening the Outdoors grants to 24 nonprofit organizations that offer equitable access to outdoor spaces in San Diego County.
“San Diego Foundation is proud to once again support its partners committed to increasing community-driven efforts to enhance accessible outdoor space, encourage youth to learn more through hands-on education and create the next generation of environmental stewards in the San Diego region,” said Christiana DeBenedict, SDF Director of Environment Initiatives.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
