About the FERC Child Development Center
The FERC Child Development Center (Center or CDC) is a non-profit corporation run by a volunteer Board of Directors (Board). The Center is currently open and accepting new applicants for enrollment in each age group. We are excited to be working with the Center's provider, Everbrook Academy!
Board Functions
Fundraising
The Board organizes and coordinates fundraising activities primarily to support and administer a need-based Tuition Assistance Program for Center families. The fundraising activities also support faculty appreciation (such as lunches, birthday presents, etc.) and program enrichment (such as additional classroom equipment, books and toys, and summer programs).
The Board’s fundraising activities are made possible by the efforts and generous contributions of the Center’s families and faculty, as well as friends at FERC and the surrounding community.
Board Functions
- The Board contracts with a professionally qualified provider to operate the Center and oversees the contract with that provider; however, the Board is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Center.
- The Board articulates and enforces Center policies, reviews the Center budget and advises on tuition costs (although the provider makes the final decision regarding the budget). The Board also interviews candidates to act as Director of the Center.
- The Board supports Center staff through faculty appreciation weeks and working closely with Room Parents and the Parent Partnership group.
