About the FERC Child Development Center
The FERC Child Development Center (CDC) is a non-profit corporation run by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Center has been closed since March 2020. We hope to reopen the Center by late 2022 if possible.
Board Functions
Fundraising
When the Center is open, the Board organizes and coordinates fundraising activities primarily to support a need-based tuition assistance program for Center families, which it administers. The fundraising activities also support faculty appreciation (such as supplemental benefits, conference fees, and accreditation bonuses) 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.
