Our Kids Need Your Help
This Giving Tuesday, Support Your Nonprofit Child Care Partner




After Hurricane Ian, Child Care of Southwest Florida worked hard and fast to reopen centers, getting students back in the classroom so families could return to work. With public schools closed, we served as an essential caregiver for the entire family – including older siblings. It was a fulfilling opportunity for us to help keep our community’s current workforce employed while giving the next generation the high-quality early childhood education they need to succeed in the future.
Now, our kids need your help more than ever. While the centers were made safe to open, there are still damages to repair and equipment to replace due to the storm. Some of our needs aren’t storm-related but will help us provide the area’s best early childhood education, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
To help us continue to provide students, infant to five years, with a quality early childhood education at Child Care of Southwest Florida, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support one of the following needs:
- Playground repairs and improvements
- Building repairs and improvements
- Classroom supplies and educational materials
- Scholarship assistance
- General fund
The cost of not investing in our children is staggering.

How Scholarships Empower the Whole Family
Child Care of Southwest Florida proudly offers Primary Need Scholarships to students in our five early learning centers. These scholarships pick up where government assistance ends. Why is this important? It encourages economic progress. Often, working parents lose assistance as they make financial gains. However, at Child Care of Southwest Florida, parents pay what they can for the very best early childhood education, and scholarships fill the gap.
Education is the gift of a lifetime, and the return on your investment is enormous. Think of your contribution as an investment in the future of a child in need.Please help our children and families by donating to the Gift of Education scholarship program!
