How will the CFC benefit the current agencies and the families who use the services?
A newly renovated Karger Center will provide for a state-of-the art environment and additional classrooms, office and meeting spaces. Services will be expanded to provide additional licensed space to serve 8 infants, 12 toddlers, and 24 two year olds, as well as additional space for elementary school children in after school care. There will also be an opportunity for more care for children who will be in afternoon kindergarten. Very little care exists now for working parents whose children are assigned to afternoon classes. Agencies will cooperate for optimum efficiency and effectiveness in both service delivery and cost savings. Shared areas such as the gross motor rooms, and expanded outdoor playground, conference/meeting space, the kitchen, and staff resource room will be of benefit to all agencies for a one-time construction cost. Multiple service agencies housed at one site will allow clients greater accessibility and convenience.
