Washington Street, Eugene OR 97401 <br /> Brief description of services to be provided from the above project location. <br /> The project location would be our new base of operation, replacing the site at 169 N. <br /> Washington St., (within the boundaries of Skinner Butte Park), that we have occupied since <br /> 1968. <br /> Child Care Inc. is a community, non -profit 501(C)(3) preschool/child care center. The t c -�� `- ``` ' 7� <br /> school is currently licensed by the state Children's Services Division for 30 preschool aged <br /> children (2 '/i - 6 year olds). The purpose of the school is to provide high quality services at <br /> an affordable cost for all families, with an emphasis on low- income families. The preschool <br /> program provides a safe and nurturing environment where the individual needs of each child <br /> can be met. The proposed project will enable us to expand to serve 40 preschoolers as well ''c: ! t <br /> as 12 infants and toddlers. <br /> Child Care Inc. is open year round, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. <br /> Children's scheduling is flexible in order to accommodate the diverse needs of families. The <br /> teacher /child ratio for preschool age children is maintained at 1:6 (as was once required by <br /> Federally licensed centers), exceeding state regulations, which require only a 1:10 ratio. The <br /> center has persisted in this ratio to allow for more one - on-one and small group interaction <br /> between teacher and child than is possible at the minimum (1:10) ratio. The ratio for <br /> infant/toddler care will be 1:4, with plans for a substantial volunteer program to help provide <br /> the individual attention so vital to children at these younger ages. <br /> February 11, 1994 <br />
