Funding

 

Head Start – Child Development Council of Franklin County Partnership Program (CDCFC).

 

Publicly Funded Child Care – Also known as Title 20 or PFCC – offers financial assistance to eligible families to pay for child care while they engage in work and training efforts. Families whose income is at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines can receive payment for all or part of their weekly child care expenses. We have an annual contract with Franklin County for this service.

 

Federal Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) – We participate in this federal program that assists in providing healthy meals and snacks to children receiving child care. We are reimbursed monthly for food related expenses dependent upon the number of meals served through this program.

 

Staff Selection

Each member of our staff is carefully chosen based on their professional demeanor, educational qualities and their caring dispositions. Once hired staff members are fingerprinted and ODJFS completes a thorough background check. Staff are also required to get a physical completed before starting their position.
