-------------- <br /> COMMUNITY SCHOOL 2 <br /> VOR, PEOPLE UNDER, SIX <br /> Accredited by the <br /> National Academy <br /> of Early Childhood <br /> Progntns <br /> March 11 , 1996 <br /> Mr. Moses Carey, Jr. Chair <br /> Orange County Commissioners <br /> Post Office Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Attention: Orange County Commissioners <br /> Dear Mr. Carey: <br /> Community School For People Under Six has been a big <br /> part of the child care community in Chapel Hill for 25 <br /> years . With the support of Orange County, we have been <br /> located in the Northside Multipurpose Complex for over 12 <br /> years providing quality child care services . <br /> In February, 1995 , our Board of Directors established a <br /> vision plan which included expansion of the facility and <br /> enrollment spaces for infants and toddlers . The Board <br /> approved a 2, 150 square foot expansion plan totaling <br /> $180 ,000 which includes 12 new infant/toddler spaces , an <br /> indoor playroom for gross motor play during adverse weather <br /> when children cannot go outside, storage space for materials <br /> and equipment, a staff lounge for staff planning and <br /> relaxation away from children, and a therapy room to provide <br /> individual support to children with special needs. This <br /> facility expansion would take Community School into the 21st <br /> Century continuing the mission of providing quality and <br /> affordable child care (see attached Vision Plan) . <br /> At this time, we wish to make a formal request to the <br /> Orange County Commissioners for permission to expand our <br /> facility on the current property at Northside by adding an <br /> additional 2 , 150 square feet. This expansion will enable <br /> Community School to better serve the community need and to <br /> provide better care and service to our currently enrolled <br /> children, families and staff. <br /> There has been a growing need for child care spaces in <br /> Chapel Hill over the past few years . We receive numerous <br /> telephone calls daily. From July, 1995 to January, 1996 , <br /> the local resource and referral agency has documented that <br /> 692 families were seeking child care for their children in <br /> P.O.
