3 | ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REPORT
About our
great organization
Community Options encourages, educates and inspires children and their families to fully
participate within their community.
Our Child Care programs have
continued to provide the highest
standards of care for children
and support for their families.
Edmonton Northwest Child Care
Centre maintained its accredited
status, thanks our hardworking
and dedicated child care staff.
Edmonton Northwest Out of
School prepared for their first
annual accreditation renewal, and
is actively engaged in the ongoing
Quality
Enhancement
Plan.
Accreditation
has
allowed
our staff to receive additional
compensation,
enhanced
professional
development
opportunities, and additional
funds for these programs.
Edmonton Northwest Preschool,
our newest program, is in its third
year at Inglewood School, with
full enrolment and a program
focus on social and emotional
development goals. FCSS funding
enabled us to provide the
preschool program at minimum
cost to families, enabled the
provision of family supports
in our child care program and
facilitated volunteers through
the position of Director of
Resources
and
Volunteers.
Generous
donations
from
Churchill Retirement Community,
and individual donors were
received, to support nutri- tion
needs of low income children
attending Inglewood School.
We
truly
appreciate
this
recognition of the needs of
young children for healthy food
to support healthy development.
Through this funding, we can
provide food for any child in
our programs and in the school:
children who come to school
hungry are sent to our out of school
care program to get breakfast,
lunch or a snack as needed.
