| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | MISSION: AFFORDING ALL CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY HIGH QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION. VISION: BEST START. BRIGHTEST FUTURE. EVERY CHILD. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 3 | FULTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT CANCELED THE CDA'S CONTRACT FOR KIDS EXPRESS SERVICES IN ADAMSVILLE AND SANDY SPRINGS IN JANUARY OF 2018 ELIMINATING THAT PROGRAM. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | 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 CDA'S HARDWORKING PARENTS EARNED MEDIAN INCOMES OF ONLY 21250 IN 2017- 2018, SO MARKET-RATE TUITION OF 250-300 PER WEEK WOULD BE BEYOND THEIR REACH. WITH SCHOLARSHIPS, PARENTS' MEDIAN TUITION PAYMENT WAS ONLY 88 PER WEEK, WHICH STILL REPRESENTS 20-25% OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME. CDA FAMILIES MAKE TANGIBLE SACRIFICES FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. SCHOLARSHIPS MADE POSSIBLE BY GENEROUS PARTNERS ARE PROVIDING ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THESE: -WE HAVE HAD A FAMILY IN OUR PROGRAM WHO LIVES AT ANOTHER EMERGENCY HOUSING FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH HER PREVIOUS DAYCARE EXPERIENCE. SHE RECEIVED A CAPS CERTIFICATE WHICH STATED SHE WOULD PAY US 49 A WEEK. SHE WAS STILL STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY, BUT WANTED TO REMAIN IN THE CDA PROGRAM ENOUGH TO REFER OTHER FAMILIES TO US. THE CDA WAS ABLE TO GIVE HER AN ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIP TO REDUCE HER TUITION. SHE CONTINUES TO PROMOTE CDA IN THE COMMUNITY AND PARTICIPATES IN ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES/EVENTS WE OFFER. -ANOTHER FAMILY WHO CAME FROM AN EMERGENCY SERVICE, AND WAS REFERRED TO US BY THE FAMILY DESCRIBED ABOVE, HAD TWO CHILDREN, ONE OF WHOM IS AGE- ELIGIBLE FOR OUR PROGRAM. EVEN THOUGH MOM WORKS, SHE WAS UNABLE TO PAY HER TUITION EACH WEEK. BECAUSE OF OUR 3-STAR PROGRAM, AND THE QUALITY RATED GRANT, SHE WAS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GRANT WHICH ALLOWED HER DAUGHTER TO ATTEND OUR PROGRAM FOR FREE. SHE IS ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO US AND OUR PROGRAM WHICH WILL CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF HER CHILD'S LIFE. -JOSEPH (NAME CHANGED) WAS ENROLLED IN THE CDA PROGRAM SINCE BEING 3 YEARS OLD. THROUGHOUT THAT YEAR STAFF SPOKE WITH HIS PARENTS ABOUT SOME DEVELOPMENTAL CONCERNS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE ASQ RESULTS IN PRE-K THAT THE PARENTS AGREED TO REFER HIM TO FULTON COUNTY SCHOOLS. THAT FALL, HE WAS EVALUATED AND THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR HIM TO ATTEND A SPECIAL NEEDS PRE-K PROGRAM AND THEREBY LEAVING THE CDA PROGRAM. IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION BUT WITH THE HELP OF OUR FAMILY ADVOCATE WHO HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE FAMILY FOR OVER A YEAR, THEY DECIDED TO ENROLL HIM IN THE SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM NEAR THEIR HOME. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | FAILURE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MAKING THE TRANSITION TO KINDERGARTEN. AND, IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, WE WERE ASKED BY BRIGHT FROM THE START TO HELP LAUNCH ANOTHER PILOT PROGRAM-THIS ONE PROVIDING A SIX-WEEK SUMMER PREPARATORY CURRICULUM FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS ENTERING PREK IN THE FALL. THIS RISING PREK SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM WAS RENEWED IN 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2018 WITH TWO CLASSROOMS SERVING A TOTAL OF 28 CHILDREN. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | IN 2017-2018, KIDS EXPRESS RECEIVED ALMOST 1,000 VISITS BY MORE THAN 700 CHILDREN. UNFORTUNATELY, IN JANUARY OF 2018, FULTON COUNTY ELIMINATED FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM AND THE SERVICES WERE ELIMINATED. MORE DETAILS ARE LISTED BELOW. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B | THE DRAFT 2017-2018 AUDIT AND 2017 FORM 990 ARE FIRST REVIEWED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING WITH THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR. THE REVISED DOCUMENTS ARE THEN PROVIDED ELECTRONICALLY TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THEIR REVIEW. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THE AUDITOR PRIOR TO THE BOARD FINAL REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES THE FILING OF THE AUDIT AND FORM 990. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | DIRECTORS AND KEY EMPLOYEES COMPLETE A DISCLOSURE QUESTIONNAIRE ANNUALLY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A | DETERMINING THE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BEGINS WITH A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION BY THE CHAIR, IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR, CHAIR-ELECT AND THE CHAIR OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE, WHICH IS SHARED WITH THE FULL BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE, WHICH IS COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALS AND INCLUDES EXPERIENCED, SENIOR HR MANAGERS. THEIR REVIEW RELIES UPON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DATA GATHERED FROM OTHER LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER COMPARABLE BODIES, AND THE CDA'S OWN PAST PRACTICE. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15B | COMPENSATION OF ALL EMPLOYEES BEGINS WITH A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION BY THE SUPERVISOR. COMPENSATION IS THEN DETERMINED BY THE QUALITY OF PERFORMANCE AND A REVIEW OF MARKET DATA TO ASCERTAIN COMPARABLE SALARIES FOR COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE CDA STRIVES TO MAINTAIN COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION RATES IN ORDER TO RETAIN VALUED EMPLOYEES AND TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT IN TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF KEY EMPLOYEES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 19 | GOVERNING DOCUMENTS SUCH AS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, BUDGETS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ARE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION AT OUR OFFICE AT 89 GROVE WAY, ROSWELL, GA 30075 IMMEDIATELY UPON REQUEST. THE CDA ALSO SHARES THESE DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY WHEN REQUESTED, FOR EXAMPLE IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR FOUNDATION OR OTHER FUNDING. |
