Today is Give Greater DC!
Early childhood education changes lives, but children cannot learn and thrive if families are struggling to meet basic needs. That’s why our work goes beyond the classroom: we provide high-quality early education alongside family engagement, food support, diapers, referrals, and a strong community where together we soar. Your gift today helps us:
• Keep early learning accessible for families who need it most
• Support caring, highly trained educators
• Provide wraparound resources that help families stabilize
• Expand our impact for more DC children through our new Truesdell site

Make your Give Greater DC gift today: www.givegreaterdc.org/o/jubilee-jumpstart

As child care access shrinks, Jubilee JumpStart is expanding—serving more children and families with education, meals, and critical resources. Be part of the solution.

Without full funding for the Pay Equity Fund and DC’s child care subsidy program, small centers like ours are at risk—and so are the families who rely on us.

We’re proud of our teachers, staff, and volunteers for showing up and speaking out. Child care is essential. DC must invest in it.
