We are not fabricating the need for a “large, new facility” to house a long waiting list of children. Indeed, we will be able to double our Center’s enrollment, and we will, in the course of time. However, the immediate need for this facility is to meet state day care licensing standards and to get out of a two-story farm house with small rooms that were certainly not designed for children under five years of age. We will also offer many more wonderful community services to the people of Rappahannock in our new building.
It behooves me that $100,683 is a “phenomenal operating budget” for an organization caring 10 hours per day for 39 babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Using the 1983 budget figures which Ms. Delevitt is quoting, let me emphasize that it is indeed phenomenal that we can offer a high quality child care and developmental program on such a low budget! We jump through hoops accomplishing this amazing task year after year.
In 1983, this grand sum of $100,683 paid the salaries of an InfantToddler teacher, a two-year-old teacher, a preschool teacher, a part-time cook, two part-time teacher’s aides, a part-time yard and maintenace worker, an administrative assistant/secretary, and an executive director. And, somehow or other, we still paid the rent, the utilities, the insurance (all varieties), disposable diapers, furnishings, travel expenses, accounting, supplies, repairs, educational materials, staff training and a variety of other expenses. Amazing!
