Welcome

Spectrum Infant and Toddler Montessories
 

Thank you for your interest in Spectrum Infant & Toddler Montessories. Founded in 2009 as a 501(C) 3 non-profit dedicated to increasing the availability of quality and sustainable child care for infants and toddlers ages 6 weeks to 3 years whose parents live/work in Irvine.

Irvine is an employment magnet for Orange county, accounting for over 12% of Orange County's workforce. Day care is the number one issue facing women in the workforce. Despite having numerous child care facilities in Irvine, we have a severe shortage of infant and toddler spaces in our child care centers. Childcare, particularly infant childcare, is not a money-making business, with viability proving an impossibility without some sort of subsidization.

Each of our centers will generate approximately $2 million in revenue and directly employ 39 people. In additional 30 jobs (in construction, retail, manufacturing, etc ) will be supported by the existence of each of our centers. Our goal is to build 4 facilities in Irvine, doubling Irvine's child care center capacity for infants and toddlers. We need your support to make this a reality.

As a non-profit, you can support us by making a donation, sponsoring a fundraising event or through foundation, corporate and government grants.

We hope that you will consider making a donation today!
