Our current building owners will not renew our lease, so we must relocate. After more than a year of searching with the help of experts, we found a safe, accessible building in Kensington that aligns with our nature-based philosophy and fits within our limited budget. Renovating this new space will allow us to continue serving the community and eventually welcome even more families.

Nurture & Nature is a nonprofit children’s center. As a nonprofit, we operate on very tight margins so we can keep tuition as affordable as possible. Every dollar we receive is reinvested directly back into the center—paying our teachers competitively, strengthening our programs, and maintaining a safe, warm, and enriching learning environment for our children.

Being a nonprofit means we exist to serve families, not to generate profit. Any surplus funds are reinvested into the center to improve learning materials, outdoor spaces, staffing, and programming. Nonprofits like ours are governed by a Board of Directors made up of parents, may qualify for grants, and operate with a mission to provide high-quality, accessible care.

We are currently aiming to raise approximately $200,000 to cover the down payment required for the renovation loan. Raising more than this amount will help reduce future loan payments and allow us to invest further in enhancements that better serve our students and support an environment rooted in our program’s values. As a registered nonprofit organization, all donations are tax-deductible.

If we are unable to raise the full amount needed for the down payment, the Board of Directors will continue exploring all available financing options to move the renovation project forward.

In addition to fundraising, we are applying for dozens of grants, exploring loan opportunities, and hosting community fundraisers. Every form of support—large or small—makes a meaningful difference.

If Nurture & Nature were ever required to close, our assets are legally mandated to be transferred to another tax-exempt organization, such as another 501(c)(3) nonprofit or a public agency. Assets can never be distributed to individuals, including board members or founders. This is a core part of our nonprofit structure and our commitment to public benefit.

At this time, plans have not been finalized. We are actively working with our dedicated build team to develop floor plans that best support our program and the needs of the children and families we serve.

We anticipate beginning renovations sometime before or during the spring of 2026.

You are welcome to join our waitlist at no cost by emailing director.nurturenature@gmail.com. At this time, we are unable to offer tours of the new building, as it has not yet been renovated to support our program.

Please contact nurturenatureboard@gmail.com‍ to request additional information from our Board of Directors.
