TOOTRiS Congratulates SAY San Diego On the Grand Opening Of Their First Employer Child Care Center

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TOOTRiS, the only on-demand quality Child-Care platform, is happy to celebrate SAY San Diego's opening of their Early Childhood Center in Kearny Mesa, a community of San Diego, California.

SAY San Diego has been partnering with youth, adults, families, and communities within San Diego County for nearly 50 years. With the help of a $500,000 grant from the Guy C. Clum Fund at The San Diego Foundation, and after over a year of construction, this new Child Care facility is now open for enrollment.  On Friday November 15, 2019 at 10AM, The San Diego Foundation, TOOTRiS, Better Business Bureau, First 5 San Diego, County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, Councilmembers Chris Cate and Chris Ward, and other supporters will join SAY San Diego for this ribbon cutting event.

"Our first workplace Early Childhood Center is a dream come true," states Nancy Gannon Hornberger, CEO at SAY San Diego. "We are grateful to our partners and donors for sharing our vision and very excited to provide this key support to our employees and community members with infants and preschoolers. High quality early childhood care is a much-needed resource here in San Diego, so we see this first center as the start of many years of building more!"

Overall, the supply of Child Care has been on a steady decline since 2008,¹ further exasperating the Child Care availability crisis. As it stands today, families making the national median income are now devoting almost 11 percent of their money just for Child Care, an increase of almost 1 percent from the previous year.²

"Congratulations to Nancy and the entire SAY San Diego team who worked relentlessly to bring their vision to reality with the new Kearny Mesa Early Childhood Center," stated Alessandra Lezama, TOOTRiS President and CEO. "The lack of affordable, high-quality Child Care, coupled with limited scheduling options are some of the most significant challenges working parents face today, and together with organizations like SAY San Diego, we're aggressively working on solving this crisis."

The new SAY San Diego Early Childhood Center will provide care for infants 6 weeks to 24 months and preschoolers 2 to 5 years old.  The November 15, 2019 ribbon cutting is at the center on 4775 Viewridge Avenue, San Diego, CA 92123, near California State Route 52, Interstate 15, and less than 15 minutes from downtown San Diego.
