PROVIDING SUBSIDIZED CHILD CARE SERVICES TO LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES. THE CENTER OFFERS EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS FOR INFANTS, TODDLERS, PRESCHOOL GROUPS, BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND SCHOOL HOLIDAY AND SUMMER CARE PROGRAMS. IN THE 2022-2023 YEAR, 25 CHILDREN WERE IN THE INFANT/TODDLER GROUP, 23 ATTENDED PRESCHOOL, 32 CHILDREN ATTENDED BEFORE/AFTER CARE AND SCHOOL HOLIDAY AND SUMMER CARE PROGRAMS. ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE ONGOING. THE ONGOING CRISIS OF HIRING AND RETAINING QUALIFIED TEACHERS IS STILL A CHALLENGE. THIS CONTINUES TO CHALLENGE CLC'S ABILITY TO RETURN TO FULL ENROLLMENT. CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER REMAINS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION AND CHILD CARE. THE TEACHER SHORTAGE MAKES THIS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. HOWEVER, THE STAFF REMAIN AT THE TOP OF THEIR PROFESSIONALISM.CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER CONTINUES TO BE A GOLD CIRCLE OF QUALITY FROM THE EXCELERATE ILLINOIS PROGRAM. THIS DEMONSTRATES THE ONGOING EFFORTS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION FOR THE FAMILIES.CHILDREN'S LEARNING CENTER RENEWED ITS ACCREDITATION THROUGH EARLY LEARNING LEADERS NATIONAL ACCREDITATION COMMISSION.
