ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
MISSION: TO ENABLE THE PRESCHOOL CHILDREN OF LOW-INCOME, WORKING FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY TO MAKE A GREAT START TOWARD A BRIGHT FUTURE BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING, NATIONALLY-ACCREDITED EARLY CARE AND LEARNING PROGRAMS. BY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, THE CDA PREPARES YOUNGSTERS FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. BY PROVIDING AFFORDABLE FULL-DAY CARE, THE CDA STRENGTHENS FAMILIES SO THEY MAY MAINTAIN STABLE EMPLOYMENT, FULLING CONTRIBUTE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND NURTURE THEIR CHILDREN. VISION: A. TO OFFER EXEMPLARY EARLY CARE AND LEARNING PROGRAMS IN A MODERN BUILDING THAT IS A THRIVING HUB OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT CHILDREN AND BUILD FAMILIES AND THAT GARNER STRONG COMMUNITY, CORPORATE, GOVERNMENT AND ENDOWED SUPPORT. B. TO REACH BEYOND OUR CLASSROOMS TO LEAD THE COMMUNITY IN ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
ANY SIGNIFICANT NEW PROGRAM SERVICES NOT LISTED ON A PRIOR RETURN
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2
THE CDA UNDERTOOK SEVERAL INITIATIVES THIS YEAR TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES AND BROADEN OUR GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE. TWO, THE SYSTEM OF CARE: READY BY FIVE INITIATIVE AND THE SUMMER PREK TRANSITION PROGRAM, ARE DESCRIBED BELOW IN QUESTION 4. THE CDA ALSO OPENED ITS SECOND KIDS EXPRESS LOCATION IN THE ADAMSVILLE REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER, OUR FIRST PROGRAM OUTSIDE OF NORTH FULTON (THE FIRST LOCATION IS IN SANDY SPRINGS). KIDS EXPRESS IS A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH FULTON COUNTY. THESE DROP-IN EARLY LEARNING CENTERS ALLOW YOUNGSTERS TO PLAY AND LEARN WHILE THEIR PARENTS AVAIL THEMSELVES OF SERVICES AT THE GRADY CLINIC, WIC OFFICE, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER AGENCIES LOCATED IN THE FULTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTERS. FOR MANY LOW- INCOME PARENTS, KIDS EXPRESS IS THEIR FIRST EXPOSURE TO A HIGH QUALITY EARLY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITH QUALIFIED TEACHERS, SO WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BRING THIS PROGRAM TO ADAMSVILLE. AT BOTH LOCATIONS WE PLAN TO USE KIDS EXPRESS AS A PLATFORM TO EDUCATE PARENTS ABOUT EARLY LITERACY AND SCHOOL READINESS. KIDS EXPRESS SERVED MORE THAN 1,500 CHILDREN/3,500 VISITS IN ITS FIRST YEAR AT ONE LOCATION. WE ANTICIPATE SERVING AT LEAST 3,000 CHILDREN/YEAR WITH THE ADDITION OF ADAMSVILLE.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
- DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO MONITOR EACH CHILD'S PROGRESS - PARENT-CHILD CONFERENCES TWICE A YEAR TO INFORM PARENTS ABOUT THEIR CHILD'S PROGRESS AND TO ENGAGE THEM IN THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER'S EDUCATION - ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FIELD TRIPS, CULTURAL PERFORMANCES AND NATURE EXPLORATIONS OUR HARD-WORKING PARENTS EARNED MEDIAN INCOMES OF ONLY 20,800 THIS YEAR, SO SCHOLARSHIPS WERE ESSENTIAL. WHILE MARKET-RATE TUITION WOULD HAVE BEEN 250-300 PER WEEK, OUR MEDIAN PAYMENT WAS ONLY 85 PER WEEK. SCHOLARSHIPS MADE POSSIBLE BY GENEROUS PARTNERS HAVE PROVIDED AN ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY TO THEIR CHILDREN. WE PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 196 CHILDREN WITH 6,500 WEEKS OF CARE IN 2011-2012.
SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B
THE CDA WAS ALSO SELECTED BY GA BRIGHT FROM THE START TO PILOT THE NEW SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM WITH TWO CLASSROOMS FOR 32 AT-RISK CHILDREN WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL PREK EXPERIENCES TO ENSURE THEIR SUCCESSFUL ENTRY INTO KINDERGARTEN IN AUGUST.
THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C
- PARENT EDUCATORS TO DELIVER THE NATIONAL MODEL PROGRAM, PARENTS AS TEACHERS. PAT USES PERSONAL HOME VISITS TO EDUCATE PARENTS ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT, TO EQUIP THEM TO OBSERVE THEIR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT, AND TO SUCCESSFULLY PARENT THEIR CHILD FOR SCHOOL READINESS. BY JULY 2012, TWO CASEWORKERS WILL BE SERVING APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FAMILIES, AND AN ADDITIONAL PART-TIME CASEWORKER WILL BE COMING ON BOARD TO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY. - READY BY FIVE ADVISORY BOARD, INCLUDING NUMEROUS SOCIAL SERVICE AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS/AGENCIES, TO WEAVE SOCIAL SERVICE, HEALTH, EDUCATION AND OTHER PROVIDERS TOGETHER IN MORE MEANINGFUL, EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS ON BEHALF OF FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE INTEGRATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SERVICES TO ADDRESS FAMILY NEEDS, WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE DETRACT FROM THE CHILDREN'S SCHOOL READINESS.
