| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | OUR NON-PROFIT PROGRAM SERVES FAMILIES OF ALL INCOME LEVELS BY OFFERING A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH CHILDREN CAN DISCOVER, LEARN & GROW. WE SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE CHILD INCLUDING HIS/HER PHYSICAL/HEALTH, COGNITIVE, SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL AND LANGUAGE AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT. WE VIEW PHYSICAL AND HEALTH DEVELOPMENT AS INCLUSIVE OF GOOD NUTRITION AND QUALITY LARGE MOTOR PLAY. HEALTHY CHILDREN ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL AND ENGAGED LEARNERS AND DEMONSTRATE SCHOOL READINESS ATTRIBUTES. WE'RE AMONG THE MOST AFFORDABLE, CONVENIENT AND CREDENTIALED PRE-K EDUCATION AND DAY CARE PROGRAMS IN THE REGION, AND ONE OF THE FEW TO OFFER SUBSIDIZED TUITION FOR QUALIFYING FAMILIES. OUR LOW TUITION RATES COVER NEARLY ALL PROGRAM COSTS, INCLUDING FOOD. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | SLIDING SCALE TUITION RELIEF PROGRAM -PARTICIPATE IN THE CHILD ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM (CACFP) ALLOWING THE CENTER TO SERVE BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND ONE SNACK DAILY TO ALL STUDENTS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO FAMILIES. APPROXIMATELY 20,000 BREAKFAST AND LUNCHES AND 10,000 SNACKS WERE SERVED. CHILDREN TRY NEW KINDS OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, PROTEINS, AND GRAINS, INCLUDING PAPAYA, ASPARAGUS, SALMON, AND QUINOA. BABY FOOD IS HOME-MADE FROM THE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SERVED. NO ADDITIONAL SUGAR OR PRESERVATIVES ARE INCLUDED. -IMMERSE EVERY CHILD IN AN ENRICHED, DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT BY UTILIZING MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (MSDE) CURRICULA AND MAINTAINING THE HIGHEST MSDE ACCREDITATION AND MSDE EXCELS (LEVEL 5) CREDENTIALS. IN THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR, CARROLL CHILD CARE CENTERS PROVIDED EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE FOR A TOTAL OF 68 STUDENTS. OF THESE CHILDREN, 15 PARTICIPATED IN THE CENTER'S SLIDING SCALE TUITION RELIEF PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE, QUALITY EDUCATION AND CHILD CARE FOR FAMILIES LIVING AT OR BELOW 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY STANDARD BY OFFERING VARYING LEVELS OF TUITION SUBSIDIES. ALTHOUGH OPEN TO ANY QUALIFYING FAMILY, THE TARGET POPULATION OF SLIDING SCALE TUITION RELIEF FALLS BETWEEN THE GAP OF STATE ASSISTANCE AND FINANCIAL SELF-SUFFICIENCY. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, 17 STUDENTS UTILIZED WEEKLY TUITION SUBSIDIES AND AN ADDITIONAL 9 STUDENTS BENEFITTED FROM RECEIVING SHORT TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE SLIDING SCALE TUITION RELIEF PROGRAM IS FUNDED PRIMARILY THROUGH COMMUNITY DONATIONS AND GRANT AWARDS. ALL RESTRICTED FUNDS ARE USED FOR TUITION SUBSIDIES AND THEREFORE HAVE A TANGIBLE, POSITIVE IMPACT ON EACH PARTICIPATING FAMILY. CHILDREN RECEIVE A WONDERFUL, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE NEEDS, WHILE PARENTS OBTAIN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK AND MAINTAIN GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. SUPPORTING THE SLIDING SCALE TUITION RELIEF PROGRAM DIRECTLY ASSISTS FAMILIES IN THEIR DESIRE TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL STABILITY. |
