2003-04 Availability Grant <br /> <br /> Need Statement <br /> <br /> Concern for the need of quality school-age care in Cabarrus County is essential, <br /> especially during afterschool hours. Parents are looking for centers that are open for <br /> before school as well as afterschool ho~s. Families at Logan Community Day Care will <br /> provide care from 6:30 a.m. until 8:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. weekdays. <br /> Adding care in such a diverse area is essential for keeping children in a safe, nurturing <br /> environment during afterschool hours. <br /> <br /> This day care center is in a very populated, low-income neighborhood. The <br />center is made of 95% African-American children and 5% Hispanic. The center has a <br />continuous waiting list for afterschool care. Because of this need, a new center was built <br />to accommodate the growing need in quality care. Every day care center in the area <br />already has a waiting list for afterschool care. Opening another afterschool center in this <br />area is crucial for the wellbeing of children. The new afterschool center is in need of <br />educational supplies, age appropriat~ furnishings, curriculum resources and stafftraining <br /> <br />in order to become a quality licensed afterschool center. Logan is well known for their <br />quality care. In their curr/ent child care program, they are a five-star center. They strive <br />to keep a quality center and provide the most for their children. In most cases, this is the <br />only place that they will receive homework help as well as a nutritious snack/meal. <br /> <br /> Objectives <br /> <br />Receive a temporary license from the Division of Child Development no later than <br />June 30, 2004. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
