CENTER-BASED PROGRAM IS A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN SIX WEEKS TO FIVE YEARS OLD WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY. THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS CHILDREN'S PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THE AREA OF EARLY LEARNING, HEALTH, AND FAMILY WELL-BEING. THE OVERALL GOAL OF BRIGHT BEGINNINGS, INC. IS TO PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT HELPS THEM DEVELOP SOCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND COGNITIVELY TOWARDS SCHOOL READINESS DURING THEIR PROGRAM ENROLLMENT. BBI'S PROGRAM COMPONENTS INCLUDE:EDUCATION - BRIGHT BEGINNINGS' EDUCATION PROGRAM EQUIPS CHILDREN WITH LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT BUILD LITERACY SKILLS AND PREPARE THEM TO ENTER KINDERGARTEN READY-TO-LEARN AND ON PAR WITH THEIR HIGHER-RESOURCED PEERS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT CHILDREN WITHOUT HOMES ARE MORE LIKELY TO FALL BEHIND IN SCHOOL, REPEAT A GRADE, REQUIRE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES, AND ARE LESS LIKELY TO DEMONSTRATE ACADEMIC PROFICIENCY OR GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.BRIGHT BEGINNINGS LARGELY CONCENTRATES ON EARLY LITERACY, AS WELL AS TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO RECOGNIZE LETTERS, NUMBERS, STORY THEMES, AND MORE. WE USE THE EVIDENCE-BASED HIGHSCOPE CURRICULUM TO FOSTER SKILLS AND QUALITIES SUCH AS CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, AND CRITICAL THINKING. HIGHSCOPE'S PLAN/DO/REVIEW METHOD ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO PLAN THEIR ACTIVITIES, ASK QUESTIONS, AND MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE GATHERED. THIS METHOD ALLOWS EACH CHILD TO DEVELOP AT THEIR OWN PACE IN A SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT. 692876 FAMILY SERVICES - BRIGHT BEGINNINGS REGULARLY HOSTS PARENT EVENTS, WORKSHOPS, AND CLASSES THAT COVER A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS. BRIGHT BEGINNINGS OFFERS PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS, FAMILY FORUM MEETINGS, PARENTING CLASSES, A MOTHERS-ONLY SUPPORT GROUP, A FATHERHOOD PROGRAM, WIC CLUB, A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SUPPORT GROUP, AND MORE.BRIGHT BEGINNINGS' FAMILY SERVICES AND EVENTS KEEP PARENTS ENGAGED IN OUR EXTENSIVE PROGRAMMING. PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOLUNTEER IN THE CLASSROOMS AND SERVE AS CHAPERONES ON FIELD TRIPS. THEY ALSO SERVE ON OUR PARENT POLICY COUNCIL, WHICH REVIEWS AND APPROVES ALL PROGRAMS AND OPERATING BUDGETS, AND INTERVIEWS KEY PERSONNEL. THROUGH ITS FAMILY SERVICES PROGRAM, BRIGHT BEGINNINGS SUPPORTS THE DAY-TO-DAY SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE AND ENCOURAGES ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT. 461825 HOME BASED - BRIGHT BEGINNINGS' HOME-BASED PROGRAM OFFERS EARLY HEAD START SERVICES TO CHILDREN (BIRTH TO THREE) AND THEIR FAMILIES IN WHATEVER ENVIRONMENT THEY CALL HOME. DURING A 90-MINUTE WEEKLY VISIT, HOME VISITORS MEET WITH PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN THE FAMILY'S HOME ENVIRONMENT, COACHING PARENTS ON STRATEGIES TO BE THE CHILD'S FIRST TEACHER, SCREENING AND ASSESSING EACH CHILD AND PROVIDING WRAP AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES.BRIGHT BEGINNINGS TREATS FAMILIES AS ACTIVE PARTNERS IN THEIR CHILD'S SUCCESS AND CREATES SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT THE ROLE OF PARENTS AS THE PRIMARY EDUCATORS OF THEIR CHILDREN. BRIGHT BEGINNINGS' HOME-BASED PROGRAM USES THE PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT) FOUNDATIONAL CURRICULUM, WHICH ASSERTS THAT PARENTS ARE THEIR CHILDREN'S FIRST AND BEST TEACHERS. IN ADDITION TO HOME VISITS, TWICE-MONTHLY SOCIALIZATION EVENTS SUPPORT PARENT-CHILD DEVELOPMENT WHILE ALSO FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONGST FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT ENROLLED IN THE CENTER-BASED PROGRAM. 1499712 2331716 1499712 2331716 6216111 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 29 0 1 109 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 VA X DR MARLA DEAN 2028429090 3418 4TH STREET SE WASHINGTON DC 20032 ANN BONHAM CO-CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAUREN SHARPLESS-ROBINSON CO-CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 QUINCY BOOTH VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NANCY REGISTER TREASURER 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 AIMEE SOLLER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA BOOTH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERRI COPELAND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA ESTEFANIA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN FERGUSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANTWONE HARRIS DIRECTOR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTIE KENDRICK-KETTMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELLANIE LASSITER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GAIL LOUIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATIE MCLAUGHLIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN NIVEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAMERON NORMAND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA PRENTISS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARSHI SIDDIQUI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHEILA STINSON DIRECTOR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE STREETER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KISHA WARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TYLER WOODS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR MARLA DEAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 1.00 X 163087 0 1676 ANTHONY SIMS DIRECTOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING 40.00 X 121693 0 9457 HILLARY GARNER DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMMING 40.00 X 121217 0 976 DARIN ALLEN DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 40.00 X 109946 0 10378 515943 0 22487 4 0 1 0 ONE DIVERSIFIED LLC 385 MARKET STREET KENILWORTH NJ 07033 CAMERA EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE 211380 IPURPOSE LLC 700 SOUTHERN AVE SE WASHINGTON DC 20032 CLEANING AND SANITATION SERVICES 155309 2 9551 3968343 3448147 209459 7426041 CHILD HEALTH SERVICES 624410 2331716 2331716 2331716 125869 125869 OTHER INCOME 900099 1547 1547 1547 9885173 2331716 0 127416 170891 143548 22216 5127 4106151 3531499 382913 191739 584996 502908 51414 30674 398589 343275 36928 18386 25112 1301 23736 75 259527 259527 97595 97595 567410 484948 45957 36505 1086706 452693 614978 19035 50572 35763 8411 6398 548754 394377 132002 22375 8873 5771 198 2904 11667 3554 1888 6225 102219 102219 49777 37233 10152 2392 39571 33996 3726 1849 CLASSROOM EXPENSES 108560 107948 137 475 FAMILY SERVICES 37017 35078 1934 5 BAD DEBT 19599 19599 STAFF RECRUITMENT 1940 1940 8275526 6216111 1617656 441759 3241563 1705252 332472 1031576 421000 148612 1258028 1186597 116282 55777 351511 141187 218232 210324 6732620 6724372 12320197 11062510 642901 880946 1457 12000 2350922 0 1000000 235000 3995280 1127946 X 7368837 9462785 956080 471779 8324917 9934564 12320197 11062510 1609647 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 4962110 4734656 6429837 7407496 7426041 30960140 4962110 4734656 6429837 7407496 7426041 30960140 91053 30869087 5126 100586 127320 126653 125869 485554 17542 45530 23089 1547 87708 31533402 4975703 0.97890 0.98310 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 143929 21915 122014 207582 119272 88310 210324 LEVERAGE LOAN TO WF INVEST FUND 6693700 DEPOSITS 30672 6724372 X PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE APPLICABLE INCOME TAX REGULATIONS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
