FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	(CONTINUED FROM FROM 990, PAGE 1) OFFERING A HIGH QUALITY FULL DAY PRESCHOOL EDUCATION TO THE CHILDREN OF EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY. COMMUNITY DAY NURSERY HAS BEEN SERVING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES SINCE 1897. WE BELIEVE HIGH-QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION ENSURES CHILDREN TO BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND. WE ARE ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN WHICH MEANS WE MEET THE HIGH STANDARDS SET TO ENSURE CHILDREN WILL BE SAFE, HEALTHY, AND LEARNING EACH DAY. OUR CERTIFIED TEACHERS HAVE DEGREES AND ARE WELL TRAINED IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. THEY BUILD CARING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH CHILD, AND PLAN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE FUN AND CHALLENGING. ONGOING ASSESSMENT ENSURES CHILDREN CONTINUE TO LEARN AND DEVELOP.
FORM 990, PART III - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	(CONTINUED FROM FORM 990, PAGE 2 LINE 1) IT IS OUR GOAL TO STRENGTHEN A COOPERATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH FAMILIES THROUGH A VARIETY OF PARENTING SERVICES AND GROUP ACTIVITIES.
FORM 990, PART III - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	(CONTINUED FROM FORM 990, PAGE 2 LINE 4A) IN 2022 COMMUNITY DAY NURSERY (CDN) CELEBRATED ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF EARLY EDUCATION & CHILDCARE SERVICES FOR OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FULL-DAY PREKINDERGARTEN PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FOR THREE & FOUR-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN WHO RESIDE IN EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY. OUR WRAP AROUND PROGRAM OFFERS AN EXTENDED DAY, BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL. OUR SUMMER PROGRAM IS A FULL-DAY PROGRAM BEGINNING WHEN THE REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR ENDS & OFFERS CARE FOR CHILDREN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. IT IS OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE YOUNG CHILDREN WITH A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH EACH CHILD'S POTENTIAL FOR EMOTIONAL, INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL, & PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IS NURTURED. SINCE THE PANDEMIC, OUR ENROLLMENT DROPPED FROM 120 CHILDREN IN 2020 TO 93 CHILDREN IN 2022. THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WITH BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES & SPECIAL NEEDS HAS INCREASED, & IT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING TO FIND QUALITY STAFF MEMBERS TO WORK IN THE CLASSROOMS. OUR CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS PREVIOUSLY FOR EIGHT CLASSROOMS. OUR CONTRACT IS NOW FOR SEVEN CLASSROOMS. EACH OF OUR SEVEN CLASSROOMS IS LED BY A TEACHER & TEACHER ASSISTANT & A MAXIMUM OF FIFTEEN CHILDREN. ONE CLASSROOM IS BILINGUAL SPANISH/ENGLISH. THE SCHOOL YEAR CURRICULUM IS RESEARCH-BASED TOOLS OF THE MIND. OUR TEACHERS DOCUMENT & ASSESS CHILDREN'S LEARNING VIA THE TEACHING STRATEGIES GOLD ONLINE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM, & FOUR-YEAR-OLDS ARE ASSESSED FOR KINDERGARTEN READINESS VIA THE MYIGDIS ASSESSMENT TOOL. OUR LITERACY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH GRANTS PROVIDED BY FIRST BOOK, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, THAT CONNECTS BOOK PUBLISHERS & COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO NEW BOOKS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED. OUR CHILDREN ARE SERVED A FRESHLY PREPARED BREAKFAST, LUNCH, & SNACK EACH DAY. MOST OF THE FUNDING FOR THE FOOD, FOOD WORKERS' SALARIES, BENEFITS & ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM COMES FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE THROUGH THE CHILD & ADULT FOOD CARE PROGRAM (CACFP). WE ALSO RECEIVE A FOOD STIPEND & A PERCENTAGE OF THE SALARY/ BENEFITS FOR THE COOK FROM THE EAST ORANGE BOARD OF EDUCATION. HOWEVER, TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE FOOD PREPARED ALSO REQUIRES ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM PRIVATE SPONSORS. ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN LOWER SINCE THE PANDEMIC. NINETY-THREE CHILDREN WERE ENROLLED FOR THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR. THE RACIAL/ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS OF THE CHILDREN ARE AS FOLLOWS: THIRTY-SIX ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN; TWENTY-THREE ARE HISPANIC; EIGHTEEN ARE HAITIAN; EIGHT ARE AFRICAN; FOUR ARE GUYANESE; TWO ARE WHITE; ONE IS FROM TRINIDAD, & ONE IS JAMAICAN. FORTY-TWO ARE GIRLS & FIFTY-ONE ARE BOYS. APPROXIMATELY 75% OF OUR FAMILIES QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED MEALS THROUGH THE FDA CHILD & ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM (CACFP). THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF EAST ORANGE ARE SHIFTING. THE LATINO POPULATION IS INCREASING, THOUGH THERE IS STILL A SIGNIFICANT HAITIAN POPULATION. WE HAVE ONE TEACHER WHO SPEAKS SPANISH & TWO SPANISH-SPEAKING ASSISTANTS. OUR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT SPEAKS HAITIAN CREOLE & ENGLISH. BECAUSE OF BILINGUAL TEACHERS, TEACHER ASSISTANTS, & ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM MEMBERS, PARENTS FEEL WELCOMED & CARED FOR. THE SISTERS, BROTHERS & COUSINS OF CHILDREN THAT ATTENDED COMMUNITY DAY NURSERY CONTINUE TO REQUEST OUR CENTER WHEN ENROLLING. WE INVITE FAMILY PARTICIPATION THROUGH "BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT", "BRING A PARENT TO SCHOOL DAY", & MONTHLY PARENT MEETINGS, PRESENTATIONS, & WORKSHOPS. PARENT MEETINGS HAVE INCLUDED PRESENTATIONS BY THE ZUFALL HEALTH CENTER, AN ASTHMA WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY ST. BARNABAS HOSPITAL, A SPEAKER FROM AN ORAL HEALTH CENTER ON DENTAL CARE, & A PLAY THERAPIST WHO GAVE A WORKSHOP ON LIMIT SETTING FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WORKS FULL-TIME, OVER TWELVE-MONTHS TO MANAGE THE PROGRAM & IS SUPPORTED BY A FULL-TIME ASSISTANT DIRECTOR (FORMERLY EMPLOYED BY THE STATE OF NJ, DEPARTMENT OF CHILDCARE LICENSING) & A FULL TIME ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. CDN EMPLOYS SEVEN STATE-CERTIFIED TEACHERS, THREE WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE & FOUR WITH MASTER'S DEGREES; NINE TEACHER ASSISTANTS WHO WORK TEN-MONTHS (SEPTEMBER THROUGH JUNE) FOR SEVEN HOURS PER DAY, & TWO PARAPROFESSIONAL FAMILY SUPPORT STAFF. OUR COOK PREPARES ALL OUR MEALS IN OUR KITCHEN USING FRESH INGREDIENTS & WITH THE HELP OF A KITCHEN ASSISTANT. WE EMPLOY A PART TIME CUSTODIAN WHO ALSO SERVES AS A SECURITY GUARD. THE EAST ORANGE SCHOOL DISTRICT EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION DEPARTMENT REQUIRES THE TOOLS OF THE MIND CURRICULUM & HAS IMPLEMENTED AN ASSESSMENT SYSTEM TO MONITOR CHILDREN'S ACADEMIC GROWTH. TEACHING STRATEGIES GOLD IS AN ONLINE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS TEACHERS TO USE A VARIETY OF TOOLS TO GATHER & ORGANIZE MEANINGFUL DATA QUICKLY, INCLUDING ONLINE PORTFOLIOS WHERE CHILDREN'S WORK CAN BE STORED. TEACHERS GENERATE COMPREHENSIVE REPORTS THAT CAN BE CUSTOMIZED EASILY & SHARED WITH FAMILY MEMBERS TO ENABLE THEM TO BETTER UNDERSTAND & SUPPORT THEIR YOUNG CHILD'S GROWTH. TEACHERS ALSO ASSESS CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT USING THE ESI-R SCREENING TOOL & THE MYIGDI READINESS FOR KINDERGARTEN ASSESSMENT TOOL. ALL OUR TEACHING STAFF ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE TWENTY HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT EACH YEAR. THE EAST ORANGE BOARD OF EDUCATION PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT SUPPORTS THE CURRICULUM & THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS. THE EAST ORANGE BOARD OF EDUCATION SOCIAL WORKER ASSIGNED TO OUR SCHOOL PROVIDES COACHING & LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE HELPFUL TO OUR STAFF. PROGRAM FOR PARENTS WE STRENGTHEN PARTNERSHIPS WITH FAMILIES, THROUGH A VARIETY OF PARENTING SERVICES & GROUP ACTIVITIES. FAMILY WORKERS HOST MONTHLY PARENT MEETINGS THAT INTRODUCE OUR PARENTS TO THE COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. ONCE AGAIN, WE DISTRIBUTED GROCERY STORE GIFT CARDS TO HELP ENSURE OUR CHILDREN & THEIR FAMILIES HAD A HOLIDAY DINNER. WE WERE ABLE TO FUND THIS PROJECT THROUGH THE GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS, BOARD MEMBERS, & PRIVATE DONATIONS. OUR LITERACY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH GRANTS PROVIDED BY FIRST BOOK, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CONNECTS BOOK PUBLISHERS & COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO NEW BOOKS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED. WE PURCHASE GOOD QUALITY BOOKS AT A FRACTION OF BOOKSTORE PRICES. RESEARCH ON RACIAL & ETHNIC SCHOOL READINESS GAPS INDICATES THAT QUALITY PARENTAL LINGUISTIC INTERACTION IN THE HOME IS CRUCIAL TO READINESS AT SCHOOL ENTRY & TO FUTURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS. ONE OF THE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS IN SCHOOL READINESS USED BY MANY RESEARCHERS IS THE NUMBER OF THE BOOKS IN THE HOME. WE WANT OUR FAMILIES TO HAVE HIGH-QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERATURE AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. EACH JANUARY WE SEND HOME MARTIN'S BIG WORDS BY DOREEN RAPPAPORT, A BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED & ELEGANTLY TOLD STORY OF THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. FIRST BOOK NOW PROVIDES RESOURCES OTHER THAN BOOKS THROUGH FIRST BOOK MARKETPLACE. AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE WINTER COATS AT A STEEPLY DISCOUNTED PRICE. WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES JOINING US FROM WARMER CLIMATES WHO ARRIVE IN CLOTHING NOT APPROPRIATE FOR WINTER IN NEW JERSEY. AT "BACK TO SCHOOL" NIGHT, PARENTS LEARNED ABOUT THE TOOLS OF THE MIND CURRICULUM & WAYS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S LEARNING AT HOME. OUR WORKSHOP ON LIMIT-SETTING GIVEN BY A CERTIFIED PLAY THERAPIST HELPED PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURE & LIMITS, & HOW TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. VARIOUS PRESENTATIONS AROUND CHILDREN'S HEALTH HELPED PARENTS LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY NUTRITION, THE DANGERS OF LEAD FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, & HOW TO MANAGE ASTHMA. BUILDINGS & GROUNDS WE REPLACED A BROKEN AWNING IN ONE OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS SO THAT CHILDREN CAN PLAY OUTSIDE DURING HOT AND SUNNY WEATHER. NOW CHILDREN SPEND TIME OUTDOORS EVERY DAY.
