Program Transition Information

CCLC is excited to have been selected as the new child care provider at the P&G Child Development Center. We are committed to working with P&G, center families and existing staff to ensure a smooth transition. The most important factor of a transition is continuity of care for the children. CCLC is working with the current provider to ensure a collaborative transition takes place and to gather as much information as possible regarding staff, families and the daily operations of the center.

Our goal is to retain as many of the current teaching staff as possible to provide consistency to the children and their families. We are committed to making necessary changes at the center, as identified by both CCLC and P&G. However, these changes will occur in a timely yet respectful manner. We want children and families to walk into the center and feel like they are at home in a familiar space.

A key factor during the transition period will be continuous communication between CCLC, families, staff and P&G. CCLC has created many methods for families to receive center transition updates. You can join the Center Transition E-mail Group. Prior to May 5, 2008 CCLC will host a number of parent meetings to both answer families questions and for CCLC to share information regarding the transition plans. We look forward to meeting all of the families and children!

Center Quality & Features

The same great quality families have come to expect at the P&G Child Development Center will remain during and after the transition of providers. CCLC will work with P&G to identify areas upon to build even stronger quality and learning opportunities for children. These changes will occur in a timely yet respectful manor and all changes will be communicated to families regularly. Below is information on the quality you can expect at the P&G Child Development Center throughout the transition process and beyond.

1. NAEYC Standards: The P&G Child Development Center will continue to follow NAEYC standard by offering the high-quality, developmentally appropriate curriculum with low teacher / child ratios. The center is currently set up to meet and in some cases exceed the accreditation standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) -- a highly regarded child development organization. NAEYC standards are only achieved by 8% of all 110,000 programs nationally. The center will apply for an NAEYC accreditation transfer and do whatever is necessary to retain the accreditation status. CCLC has successfully achieved NAEYC accreditation and reaccreditation at most of our centers. We strongly believe in the quality standards which NEAYC has set for child care centers.
    
2. Low Ratios: The center will continue to operate with low teacher to child ratios and small group sizes. This allows the teaching staff to focus more on small group and individual needs of each child.
    
3. Guided Discovery Curriculum: CCLC will slowly transition from the current curriculum to CCLC's own unique curriculum: Guided Discovery Curriculum^TM. CCLC incorporates physical, social, language, cognitive and emotional development. Guided Discovery is rooted in educational philosophy and theory as well as practice. CCLC's Director of Quality and Training is currently creating a transition plan for the curriculum. CCLC will provide parent with a detailed timeline as soon as we have had an opportunity to review the current curriculum and evaluate the best method to make a transition. CCLC will be mindful of the curriculum experiences that the children are currently engaged in daily.
    
4. Teaching Staff: CCLC's goal is to retain as many of the current teaching staff as possible. CCLC is meeting with the current team members who have expressed interest in staying at the P&G Child Development Center. We will discuss the transition and their employment opportunities within CCLC. We will communicate to parents regularly regarding the status of their child's classroom teacher. Where necessary, CCLC will hire additional staff that are Early Childhood Professionals who meet or exceed all state requirements.

   Our goal is to keep the teacher turnover rate as low as possible. To build a great teaching team, we pay above average salaries and offer great benefits. We look forward to finalizing our teaching team and introducing both returning and new team members to The P&G Child Development Center families as we get closer to the transition date of May 5, 2008!
