As 2021 comes to a close, the Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC) would like to wish you the very best this holiday season. We would sincerely appreciate your consideration of a final contribution to our organization in 2021. This year’s end of year campaign will support JCYC’s Chibi Chan Preschools which continue to face financial challenges.
While both Chibi Chan Preschool and Chibi Chan Too staff have worked tirelessly to transition both preschool sites to full-time, in-person care, the ongoing instability of the pandemic has resulted in constant changes in enrollment. Reopening our preschools involved complex challenges to re-organize space to maximize safety and comply with social distancing requirements, securing adequate personal protective equipment, and establishing new safety protocols. However, the dedicated and courageous staff of Chibi Chan felt compelled to respond to the urgent needs of essential workers and other families who need childcare to go to work.
Unfortunately, with all of our children still unvaccinated, many families are cautious about sending their children to preschool. Coupled with many families working remotely, these circumstances have created an unprecedented financial burden on JCYC. We are hopeful that our many friends and supporters will consider lending a helping hand to our organization as we recover from these challenging times.
We are incredibly proud of our preschools and the amazing staff who provide vital childcare for families who desperately need it. We’d be grateful for your assistance to ensure we can continue to provide these essential services and retain all of our remarkable staff who are providing the highest level of care under extremely difficult conditions.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. For more information on our programs or other ways of supporting JCYC, please visit www.jcyc.org or call (415) 202-7909. Stay safe and healthy, and we wish you the best this holiday season!
Sincerely,
Jon Osaki
Executive Director
