FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1
Founded in 1901, ChildCareGroup is one of the oldest and largest non-profit organizations in Dallas and has been a United Way partner agency since 1923. Through a triad of services, ChildCareGroup provides kindergarten readiness education, child care, and practical support services for poverty level families, expands quality child care through training programs for parents and child care professionals, and creates access to subsidized child care for low-income families. In 1986, ChildCareGroup early care and education centers were the first in Dallas to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children(NAEYC). Today, our seven centers maintain and continue to achieve accreditation under the new standards required by NAEYC. ChildCareGroup advocates for children by encouraging legislation that supports safe, high-quality early childhood care and education.

CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE (CCA)
Child Care Assistance Made a Difference in 2012! CCA served 28,846 children in 15,161 households in Dallas, Jefferson, Hardin, and Orange counties. In Dallas County alone, 25,432 children were served. Nearly 1,100 early care and education programs in Dallas County and Southeast Texas work with Child Care Assistance to help our communities fight poverty and develop young children. In the last year, Dallas County saw a 3% increase in participating early care and education programs, raising the number of children enrolled in quality rated providers to 30%! The value of direct care services for early care and education provided to the community in 2012 through our CCA program totaled $53,653,000. Because of the participation of our local community partners and federal match funding, CCG received $6,051,000 to provide additional early care and education services in the community. Our community partners were the City of Dallas, Dallas ISD, Irving ISD, Garland ISD, Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD, Cedar Hill ISD, Dallas County Community College District, Grand Prairie ISD, and Beaumont Texas ISD.

HEAD START & EARLY HEAD START: CENTER PROGRAMS
ChildCareGroup partners with other non-profit organizations to deliver Relationship-Centered Child Care (RC3), our nationally acclaimed model of care. RC3 is practiced in all ChildCareGroup's early childhood programs and emphasizes a constant caregiver relationship. RC3 allows children to flourish in a home-like environment with mixed-age groupings, smaller child-to-teacher ratios, and curricula based on each child's individual needs. Through ChildCareGroup's holistic model of care, we provide a wide range of support services designed to lift two generations of a family out of poverty. In 2012, we operated four infant and toddler programs at seven preschool nationally accredited early care and education centers located in East Dallas, Garland, Oak Cliff, and South Dallas. With important funding from Head Start Greater Dallas, Office of Early Head Start, and United Way Metropolitan Dallas, we served 595 children and their 900 parents through these programs every day. We collaborate with Bryan's House to serve 32 children and Low Birth Weight Development Center to serve 24 children. These partnerships allow CCG to serve additional children with special medical needs and their siblings. All children were up to date with scheduled preventative and primary health care by the end of the program year. 100% of the children we served received dental care; 20% were diagnosed by a health care professional with a chronic condition needing medical treatment; and 5% were identified with a mental health services need. Treatment and services were provided to all children with identified needs. In the last year, more than 1,652 volunteers served more than 35,000 hours at our Centers. Every day, 33 "Grandparents" from the Senior Source volunteer their time in our Center classrooms. Funding for our Center Programs is provided by Early Head Start, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and generous donations from the United Way and other community groups, foundations, and individual donors.
