Mission

Mission: The CDA affords all children in our community high-quality early education. Vision: Best Start, Brightest Future, Every Child

About

CHILDREN'S CENTER: IN 2018-2019, THE CDA SERVED OVER 250 CHILDREN, PROVIDING FULL-DAY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE CDA COMMUNITY CENTER. THIS FACILITY HAS TEN VIBRANT CLASSROOMS-SEVEN FOR TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS, THREE FOR PREKINDERGARTEN CHILDREN-WITH WELL-QUALIFIED TEACHERS NURTURING AND EDUCATING 156 YOUNGSTERS EACH DAY AGES ONE TO FIVE YEARS. THESE CHILDREN RECEIVED: -COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM PROMOTING COGNITIVE, PHYSICAL, LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. -WHOLESOME NUTRITION, INCLUDING BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND A SNACK EACH DAY. -IMMUNIZATION, HEALTH AND DENTAL SCREENINGS. -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. CDA'S HARDWORKING PARENTS EARNED MEDIAN INCOMES OF ONLY 21277 IN 2018- 2019, SO MARKET-RATE TUITION OF 250-300 PER WEEK WOULD BE BEYOND THEIR REACH. WITH SCHOLARSHIPS, PARENTS' MEDIAN TUITION PAYMENT WAS ONLY 62 PER WEEK, WHICH STILL REPRESENTS 15% 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 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. EARLY LITERACY: OUR EARLY LITERACY PROGRAM, NOW IN ITS NINTH YEAR, IS DEMONSTRATING TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON OUR KIDS FOR WHOM EARLY LITERACY SKILLS AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION ARE ESSENTIAL. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ACHIEVEMENT DISPARITIES EXIST BETWEEN POOR CHILDREN AND THEIR AFFLUENT PEERS EVEN BEFORE THE AGE OF FIVE, SO EARLY INTERVENTION IS CRITICAL TO CLOSE THE GAP. OUR EL COACH WORKS WITH BOTH TEACHERS AND PARENTS TO STIMULATE EARLY LITERACY ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT HOME. KEEP KIDS SAFE-GROVE WAY-BUSH STREET ENHANCEMENT: IN 2012-2013, THE CDA LAUNCHED AN EXCITING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF ROSWELL, WHICH HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE PROPERTY SURROUNDING THE CDA COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE ADJACENT STREETS. TOGETHER THE CDA AND THE CITY RE- ENGINEERED THE GROVE WAY-BUSH STREET INTERSECTION TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY AND TO ADD SIDEWALKS MAKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFER FOR VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. THE REGRADING OF GROVE WAY AND BUSH STREETS HAS ENABLED US TO OVERHAUL OUR PARKING LOTS-ONE OF WHICH HAD A HAZARDOUS 18% GRADE. MANAGEMENT OF OUR ON-SITE TRAFFIC FLOW IS NOW HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AND INTERFACES WELL WITH THE PUBLIC ROADWAYS IN A COORDINATED MANNER. IN THE FIRST YEAR, WITH CDBG FUNDS FROM THE CITY, WE ACCOMPLISHED CONCEPT DESIGN DRAWINGS AND COST ESTIMATES. WITH 2015 CDBG FUNDS, WE HIRED POND & COMPANY ENGINEERS TO PREPARE DETAILED CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PERMITS TO BREAK GROUND. IN EARLY AUGUST OF 2017, THE CITY OF ROSWELL BEGAN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE INTERSECTION BY FLATTENING AND WIDENING THE STREETS AND ADDING SIDEWALKS. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST OF 2018. NAEYC ACCREDITATION: THE CDA CONTINUES TO MEET OR EXCEED THE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR EARLY CARE AND LEARNING PROGRAMS. WE RECEIVED NAEYC REACCREDITATION IN APRIL 2014 AND MAY 2019. FEWER THAN 6% OF GEORGIA'S CHILDCARE CENTERS ARE NAEYC-ACCREDITED, SO OUR ACCREDITATION CLEARLY SETS THE CDA APART AS A CENTER OF HIGH QUALITY. QUALITY PROGRAMMING: THE CDA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CENTERS IN THE STATE TO EARN RENEWAL OF THEIR THREE-STAR QUALITY RATING (QR) FROM GEORGIA'S BRIGHT FROM THE START IN JULY 2015 AND AGAIN IN JULY 2018. THIS IS THE HIGHEST RATING POSSIBLE AND REPRESENTS INCREDIBLE HARD WORK BY OUR STAFF AND A COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION TO THE CHILDREN IN OUR PROGRAM. OTHER NOTEWORTHY EVENTS 2018-2019 SECURITY: SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SECURITY INCLUDING NEW LOCKS CAMERAS AND LIGHTING WHICH PROVIDES ADDED SECURITY FOR ALL THOSE WHO USE THE CDA. APPROVAL TO OVERHAUL THE HVAC SYSTEM AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND STUDY BY THE BUILDING COMMITTEE, THE CDA BOARD HAS APPROVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. THE CONTRACT TO UNDERTAKE THIS PROJECT WAS SIGNED IN OCTOBER OF 2018 AND NEARLY COMPLETED BY NOVEMBER 2019 WITH OVER 400,000 OF RESTRICTED FUNDS RAISED FOR THIS PROJECT.
