06 r UI!: Request for Space for a Day Care Center in the Cedar Grove Multipurpose Center The Cedar Grove community and the entire northern end, of the county has wanted and needed. a day care center for many years. Headstart does not meet the needs of wOrrl'ing parents because of its limited hours of operation and it's strict eligibility requirements. In addition, there is no care for children under three years of age. For the last several months a group of cormunity people have been meeting to co- oreinate the activities necessary to make the day care center a reality. Commit tees have been formed to work on outreach and earollnPnt, fundraising, and the development of goals, policies, end. procedures. The center would livrP to begin in September with five infants, sin toddlers, ten twos and threes, and twelve three to five year olds who would participate in Eead.start when it was in operation and come to the center other times such as Mondays, after 2:00, and in the summer. In order for the group to Proceed with its efforts to raise money and, orgPnize the center, space in the multipurpose builtiAng must be secured. The day care center will need two larger classrooms to meet its needs. These rooms need to be in good repair and have sinks and toilets. One room must have hot water because babies will be cared for in the center. The community has set a goal of $3,775 to fundraise to start the center. This does not include any cost for renovating the space needed (see enclosed start-um budget). There is little possibility that the center can raise more than thiS initial $3,775. Therefore, we are making a request for two rooms in the Cedar Grove NUItipurpose Center for the Cedar Grove day care center. lie also request, that the county assume the costs of renovating these rooms to meet the health, fire, and building standards that would allow the center to open in September.
