Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Fauquier Community Child Care’s goal is to expand the reach of high-quality, licensed, affordable child care to low income families throughout our community. According the National After School Alliance, only 60% of low-income families report their children participate in after-school time programs, while only 33% of children in after-school child care programs come from low-income households. This tells us that there is a huge need that is not being met in regards to serving the low-income families throughout the country. Over 60% of low-income families report that the reason their children do not attend after-school programs is that they are too expensive. FCCC seeks to close those gaps and remove the barriers that prevent low-income families from participating in after-school programs. By doing so, we seek to give those families more flexibility and help them achieve their full potential.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
FCCC has a sliding scale fee structure based on the income of the enrolling family. These fees are set to ensure that all families, regardless of income, are paying a fair and affordable rate for child care. These fees are reviewed yearly to ensure that they are neither to high nor too low. To offset the subsidies of the lower cost options, we supplement our income with a significant amount of grant funding. This allows us to provide these options and to remain affordable even as the cost of operations continues to rise.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have many local partners that we work with that provide financial support to our organization. These partners and their generous donations as well as grant funding opportunities supplement the income we received from fees charged. This allows us to keep our standard fees low, as well as to subsidize our sliding scale tuition for lower income families.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Over the last 4 years we have subsidized over $240,000 in tuition. Last year alone we subsidized over $45,000, and we look to increase that for this year. Our goal is to both increase the financial subsidies we provide to families and increase the total number of lower income families that we serve. The need for out of school child care is ever increasing, and that care is getting harder and harder for low-income families to take advantage of. Our goal is to ensure that licensed childcare is something everyone can take advantage of, regardless of income level.
