Explanation
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 CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (CDA) PREPARES YOUNGSTERS FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. BY PROVIDING AFFORDABLE FULL-DAY CARE, THE CDA STRENGTHENS FAMILIES SO THEY MAY MAINTAIN STABLE EMPLOYMENT, FULLY 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.

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 -AN EARLY LITERACY PROGRAM THAT DEMONSTRATES TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON OUR KIDS DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY LITERACY SKILLS AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION OUR EL COACH WORKS WITH BOTH TEACHERS AND PARENTS TO STIMULATE EARLY LITERACY ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT HOME. IN APRIL 2014, THE CHILDREN'S CENTER RECEIVED ITS NAEYC (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN) REACCREDITATION. THIS IS THE HIGHEST ACCREDITATION POSSIBLE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. WITH NAEYC ACCREDITATION IN HAND, THE CHILDREN'S CENTER HAS SET ITS SIGHTS ON EARNING THREE-STARS IN GEORGIA'S NEW QUALITY RATING AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UNDER BRIGHT FROM THE START. OUR HARDWORKING PARENTS EARNED MEDIAN INCOMES OF ONLY 18,200 IN 2013-2014, SO MARKET-RATE TUITION OF 250-300 PER WEEK WOULD BE UTTERLY BEYOND THEIR REACH. WITH SCHOLARSHIPS, OUR PARENTS' MEDIAN TUITION PAYMENT WAS ONLY 85 PER WEEK, BUT THIS REPRESENTS 20-25% OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME. OUR PARENTS ARE MAKING TANGIBLE SACRIFICES FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. SCHOLARSHIPS MADE POSSIBLE BY GENEROUS PARTNERS ARE PROVIDING ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THESE: -ANTONIA IS A BRIGHT, BUBBLY 3-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL WITH AN INFECTIOUS LAUGH. HER MOM AND DAD WORK HARD TO PROVIDE THE BASICS ON THEIR COMBINED ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF 11,934. MOM WORKS IN THE LOCAL BAKERY AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIX. BOTH PARENTS REGULARLY COMMENT THAT THEY APPRECIATE ALL THE READING AND MATH SKILLS ANTONIA IS ACQUIRING. THEY FEEL HER FUTURE IS BRIGHT BECAUSE SHE GOT HER START AT CDA. -JASON IS A 4-YEAR-OLD BOY THAT OFTEN HANDS HIS BLUE TRUCK BACK TO MOM AS HE ENTERS THE CENTER EACH MORNING. HE HAS BEEN AT CDA SINCE HE COULD WALK AND CANNOT WAIT TO START PRE-K IN THE FALL. HIS MOM IS A HOUSE CLEANER STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET ON HER ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF 20,700. UNTIL HER DAUGHTER COULD JOIN HER SON AT CDA SHE STRUGGLED TO PAY A DAILY CHILDCARE RATE OF 40 A DAY. NOW RELIEVED THAT BOTH CHILDREN ARE AT CDA, SHE TALKS ABOUT THE SOCIAL SKILLS BOTH CHILDREN HAVE ACQUIRED AND HOW GRATEFUL SHE IS HAVE CDA AS A SCHOOL OPTION.

SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM, WHICH SERVED 32 CHILDREN DEEMED TO BE AT RISK OF SCHOOL FAILURE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MAKING THE TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN. THIS PROGRAM RENEWED FOR THE SUMMER OF 2013. AND, IN 2013 WE WERE ASKED BY BRIGHT FROM THE START TO HELP LAUNCH ANOTHER PILOT PROGRAM, RISING PREK SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM-THIS ONE PROVIDING A SIX-WEEK SUMMER PREPARATORY CURRICULUM FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS ENTERING PREK IN THE FALL. WE HAD TWO CLASSROOMS SERVING 28 CHILDREN. IN 2014, WE WERE AWARDED THE RISING PREK SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM, WHICH AGAIN SERVED 28 CHILDREN.
