The mission of the Child Care and Learning Center is “to provide a nationally accredited preschool, day care, and after school programs for local children, at as low cost to families as possible, striving to improve the quality of our children’s lives through nurturing and enriching programs.
CCLC mainstreams the economically disadvantaged and developmentally delayed children with families who can afford full tuition by soliciting donations for scholarship. A not-for-profit institution, CCLC serves a representative cross-section of all children from our community.” The Center also provides Rappahannock’s Head Start program for 18 three and four year olds.
“We meet the needs of families without regards to economic status, and we do that by blending funding streams of private donations, public and private grants, tuition, and fund raising events like the auction. CCLC is more than a charity, more than a private school,” says Rose Ann Sharp, Executive Director. “We would not be here today, celebrating our 25th anniversary of service to families in Rappahannock if it were not for community donor support. We could never afford to have the quality of programs we have today in this rural community without hardworking volunteers and Board members who donate time and talents td help raise funds to supplement the tuition collected. I cannot say enough about the CCLC Board, the CCLC Friends, and the dozens of loyal donors who support us year after year. When you come to this event on Saturday and see the beautiful furniture donated, the silver, the art, the jewelry, the services, the hours and hours of time donated by volunteers coordinating this event, you will realize what a wonderful community we have here that truly cherishes children. I am so proud to be a part of it!”
