CCCA is a nonprofit organization organized under the laws of the State of Colorado. The purpose of the CCCA is to oversee the administration and programming at the CCC. As the primary representative for enrolled families, the CCCA provides direction to the Contractor operating the CCC. The CCCA is governed by a Board of Directors, the members of which are listed at the end of this report. The CCCA has established the following goals for the Commerce Childrens Center Be supportive to the families of employees at the Department of Commerce Boulder Laboratories and affiliated organizations and meet the needs of their children with experiences that strengthen their development as valuable, socially well-adjusted human beings. Strive to develop the childrens initiative, self-reliance and competency, along with responsibility, cooperation, and consideration of others. These attributes are to be fostered in a loving and nurturing environment that the children find enjoyable and stimulating. Provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate program that promotes the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of young children, while responding to the needs of the families. Age appropriateness and individual appropriateness must be part of the learning environment and program. To ensure the quality of the program, the CCC seeks to maintain accreditation with the National Association for Education of the Young Child NAETC and establish and maintain other quality measures such as the Qualistar rating system. Provide a program that encourages non-sexist attitudes and acceptance of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity. Attracting and retaining high-quality staff is of utmost importance in creating a beneficial environment for the children. Staff salaries, benefits, training, and working conditions shall reflect a concern for the recruitment and retention of high-quality personnel. During February of FY2024, the CCCA Board of Directors voted to increase the budget by 12 to account for recent inflation and to provide competitive salaries to attract and retain exceptional staff. The retention of exceptional staff at the CCC is a top priority, and increases to staff pay are one way that the CCCA Board can reward staff for their dedication to the CCC and to the children. The CCCA Board voted to increase tuition rates effective September 2024 at a rate of 0. For FY2024, the Board chose to continue funding the tuition assistance program at 25k/year. Upon reviewing tuition assistance requests, this amount satisfies the community need. Per law, the Commerce Childrens Center is to support equal to or greater than 50 enrollment by children of federally-supported employees. As of September 8, 2024, the enrollment numbers were 63 federal or federally-supported children 44 federal-employed children and 37 general public. The CCCA Board verifies federal employment status at enrollment and subsequently each spring. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B THE OFFICER SIGNING THIS FORM REVIEWS IT BEFORE SIGNING.
