Los Niños Services, Inc.
“When my wife was seven months pregnant, and we had only nine people working, we ran the business from our studio apartment. Since then, we’ve grown tremendously. We’ve acquired three companies, set contracts for 10 additional counties, and have grown overall by 21 percent.”
— Scott Mesh, PhD.
Executive Director and Founder of Los Ninos

Funding from TruFund helped Los Niños establish stable cash flow, allowing them to continue expansion during times of economic uncertainty by providing capital for general operations. In 2003, Los Ninos began the Young Child Expo & Conference, an annual event bringing together top leaders in the industry to present essential topics in early childhood development for parents and specialists. Their first conference drew 146 attendees; by 2015 it had grown to 1500 participants with representatives from organizations across the globe.
