Wu Yee Children's Services

It's AAPI Heritage Month! Wu Yee Children's Services was founded by Chinese American women in 1977 who saw a deep need to support new immigrant parents in search of reliable child care and other services in San Francisco's Chinatown. Due to discrimination and segregation, parents faced many barriers to accessing public services and jobs. Now, Wu Yee serves all of San Francisco to help families of every background overcome barriers because we believe every child deserves the best start.

June 2nd was a bright, warm and sunny day, and the perfect weather to celebrate Bayview Children’s Day! Hundreds of families from all across the city joined us at the Southeast Community Center for food and fun including music, dance, arts and crafts, a petting zoo and the perennial favorite: face painting! More importantly families were able to connect with and learn more about Wu Yee Children’s Services and many of our community partners who provide assistance and service to local families. Thank you all who attended! Enjoy some wonderful photos from the day, courtesy of the brilliant photographer, Horatio Jung.

WE BELIEVE that nothing is more essential than excellent childcare and education for all our children, right from the start. Every day we partner with parents, as well as countless individuals to organizations across San Francisco, to provide a network that strengthens and connects a diverse, resilient community around our children. Because when we stand up for children, we stand up for one another. Read More: https://wuyee.org/mission #sanfrancisco #childcare #wuyee #earlylearningcenter #nonprofit

ADVOCACY IN ACTION 📣 In April, Wu Yee's CEO, Monica Walters and Director of Early Learning, Cheryl Horney, participated in an Early Childcare Roundtable at Kai Ming Head Start led by Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Katharine Clark- both whom have been consistent champions for accessible early childcare education. Wu Yee is very proud to advocate on behalf of all the children and families we serve throughout the greater San Francisco area.

Representatives from Wu Yee Children's Services joined the CA Child Care Resource & Referral Network in Washington DC this month for the Child Care Aware of America Symposium and to meet with US senators' teams to strongly advocate for increased federal early education funding for future years. https://lnkd.in/dc86fZEd #sanfrancisco #childcare #wuyee #earlylearningcenter #nonprofit #ccaoasymposium24

On March 12th, 2024, Wu Yee rented a bus to take a group of staff to Head Start’s Advocacy Day in Sacramento for the third annual advocacy day. We wanted to show just how important Head Start is to Wu Yee Children's Services and all of the families we serve. Our staff even got to meet with staff from Senator Weiner’s and Assemblymember Haney’s office!

Wu Yee Children's Services serves families with children under age 5 in neighborhoods with the largest population of low wage earning families, majority of which are immigrants and BIPOC. Please help bring some joy this year to our families. We need 150 toys for our family resource center holiday in Chinatown and 50 coats for our babies in Sunnydale. Will you help us spread some joy and cheer?
