Quality child care programming for children ages birth-10 years is provided in three licensed facilities so that parents can work, attend school and/or job training. false false 3864986 3681953 Since established in the early 1970s, the mission of the Day Nursery of Abilene is to provide affordable quality child care for a diverse community. In January 2020, the Day Nursery of Abilene opened a fourth child care center which was the result of a collaborative partnership and an expansion project in partnership with a local hospital and university to provide child care programming to address the needs of both entities. Opening it on January 20, 2020 was most definitely a highlight of the year. In February, Day Nursery held its second and a very successful Dueling Pianos fundraising event on Valentines Day 2020. Both of these activities were a great way to start off 2020! In March of 2020, the Day Nursery of Abilene like much of the world experienced the uncharted waters of maneuvering through the unprecedented times of a world-wide pandemic. With Coronavirus/COVID-19 cases hitting the United States, Texas and then Abilene, Day Nursery had to quickly develop its response. In order to assure that working parents had child care continued to be the position under which we operated. Closing was not an option we chose to consider, unless however any regulatory entities or others in authority required it. Soon there were new operating guidelines and statutory mandates that outlined a list of essential workers which only those could report to work each day, others were asked to stay home. Initially child care did not make the list of essential workers but was soon added knowing that families with young children who required child care services could not report to work without such. The Day Nursery of Abilene continued to meet the needs of all essential workers and remained opened. In addition, the Day Nursery centers as a child care provider for elementary age children during after school hours as well as during all school breaks and holidays were in the midst of a spring break child care program when the pandemic hit strong in our City. Schools extended spring break once, twice and then made the decision not to reopen at all for the last 2.5 months of the 2019/2020 school year. Day Nursery centers then provided full day child care vs. just after school care for these groups of children. In addition Day Nursery staff became home school teachers for these elementary age children. They prepared lesson plans each day for a mixed group of kindergarten through 5th grade students each day for 10 weeks so that these children could continue their learning through the end of the school year. Beyond that the child care for all other ages of children (starting at birth) continued on a full-time basis for all children of essential workers. Parents were no longer allowed in the centers but only in the entry way to sign in/sign out their children, additional staff were hired to help retrieve children from parents and take to classrooms and the reverse at the end of the day. Volunteers were also no longer allowed. Day Nursery of Abilene also invested in additional personal protective equipment for staff, sanitation efforts and equipment and screening supplies for all staff and parents up until the time they were allowed to enter the facilities. In the summer months, Day Nursery staff started wearing masks to continue every effort to slow down the spread of the pandemic and in the fall, children starting at the age of 3 years old and up were also asked to wear masks. Parents were then restricted by child care regulators to no longer enter the facilities for any reason for the remainder of the 2020 year. Staff had to receive and return them at the door. Day Nursery then invested in a communication platform (Hi Mama) to provide updates for parents throughout the day of their childrens activities including pictures each day. As a child care provider that made the decision to stay open to provide child care services, Day Nursery received additional funding to help absorb the costs of these additional expenses. The funding from the CARES Act (Payroll Protection Program) received in April 2020 and forgiven later in the fall helped to assure that no Day Nursery of Abilene staff had to be laid off, etc. when the uncertainty of the pandemic onset occurred and when child care enrollment numbers fluctuated. With all the uncertainties of the year, the Day Nursery of Abilene staff remained faithful to the organization and showed up each day. Because of all of the efforts of the Day Nursery, the organization was recognized in September 2020 by the Abilene Chamber of Commerce as the Non-Profit of the Year. In spite of these many challenges, the Day Nursery operated four centers in 2020 all of which are state-licensed and participants in the States quality rating and improvement system for quality child care programs, a process which requires periodic reassessments and in-depth evaluation. he agency also participates in the States child care subsidy program (Child Care Services) to provide reduced fee child care programming to meet the needs of low-income working families. Other funding provides scholarship assistance for families who do not meet state guidelines. The child care program provides a learning curriculum to meet the developmental needs of all children, including infants. The centers provide the learning program, activities (including field trips), materials, meals and snacks (including baby food and formula) for all enrolled children to also assure their nutritional needs are met while in care and all at no additional cost to the family. In addition, it provides school readiness/PreK programming for preschool age children to ensure they are appropriately prepared for school success and beyond. After school programming for elementary age children includes transportation from school for the convenience of parents who use the service. Summer camps and full day child care programming are made available during school breaks and holidays to meet the needs of working parents whose children require full day care. This additional service provides a fun, supervised program for elementary age children. 3864986 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 23 0 210 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X Cynthia Pearson 3256731110 702 Cedar St Abilene TX 79601 Cynthia Pearson PresidentCEO 55.00 0.00 X 107157 0 16064 Jason Hernandez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Moore Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Garrett Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Staci Benavides Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Will Duncan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Gray Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cameron Wiley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melody Roper Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cillia Matthews Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cheryl Cunningham Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristina Campos-Davis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kam Zinsser Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Grant Seabourne Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Hayhurst Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Paula Clowdus Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tave Kelly Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Molly Moser Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 107157 0 16064 1 false false false 160000 60000 418244 210614 35597 848858 Child Care Program Fees 624410 1334325 1334325 Child Care Services 624410 2347628 2347628 3681953 22001 22001 24362 60000 35593 -11231 -11231 Miscellaneous Revenue 624410 34558 34558 PPP Loan Forgiveness 624410 497770 497770 532328 5073909 3716511 0 508540 107157 42478 64679 2516829 2412840 97212 6777 272609 197328 68002 7279 162446 146216 10886 5344 3514 3514 19687 19687 7183 7183 14327 5252 9075 11027 11027 19027 6906 12121 40942 27435 13507 349365 328778 17540 3047 19198 13793 5405 246737 233098 13639 68231 58630 9601 Childcare Program Expenses 114625 113340 1285 Food and food preparation 275114 275114 Staff Training 9849 8187 1662 Bank fees and charges 27248 25385 1863 22520 12684 9836 4307635 3864986 344496 98153 1796345 2088766 81291 4300 194776 231967 7123 8135 11023 26237 7788917 3264933 4396544 4523984 995578 1011911 7482680 7895300 964467 501129 25091 35295 989558 536424 X 5722813 6618862 770309 740014 6493122 7358876 7482680 7895300 766274 99480 0 X false true X true false X 676150 712452 1424010 1178073 837623 4828308 2353891 2482587 2676706 2998541 3681953 14193678 3030041 3195039 4100716 4176614 4519576 19021986 19021986 13184 30330 30029 48142 22001 143686 13184 30330 30029 48142 22001 143686 144941 38341 20182 32524 532328 768316 3188166 3263710 4150927 4257280 5073905 19933988 0.95420 0.96460 0.01000 0.01000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 995578 3895 122223 103251 6534 1011911 946724 2330 153356 98640 8192 995578 992871 3294 -37143 3331 8967 946724 871594 3738 129204 3613 8052 992871 830552 12396 60734 27442 4646 871594 0.26870 0.73130 true false 222602 222602 6114608 2418999 3695609 1451707 845934 605773 4523984 Beneficial Interest in Assets held by Others 1011911 1011911 5208982 99480 35593 135073 5073909 5073909 4343228 35593 35593 4307635 4307635 Endowment funds intended uses (Part V, line 4) Day Nursery has four separate endowment funds at December 31, 2020.
