SCOPE OF WORK
Garden City Child Development Center was founded July 1, 2012 and is licensed to serve 53 children from 6 week
old infants through 12 years. From the first day our goal has been to provide the highest standard of child care for
children, families, and staff that we can possibly provide. To that end we have significantly modified the program
and standards that were in place under the previous owner and entity. We have contracted with the Arizona Self-
Study Project and are working with Coach Priscilla Wilson toward NAC accreditation.
Computers: The computer in the resource room will be replaced and wi-fi reinstated. A schedule of reserved times
will be posted so EHS team members will have dedicated times to input data to Teaching Strategies Gold.
Space: The infant and toddler classrooms are licensed for 9 and 8 children respectfully with 35 square feet per child
indoors. The playground has well over 75 square feet per child and is divided into three areas, including a dedicated
area for toddlers. We are working with our ASSP coach to design and establish an outside area that is dedicated for
the infants.
Individual parent conferences and/or parent orientations are currently conducted in the office, resource center, or
outside at a picnic table. Larger events normally include the children and are hosted in the preschool classroom.
Larger events that do not include the children are possible at no charge by reserving a room at either the Buckeye
Chamber of Commerce or at the Buckeye Family Resource Center near here. Both venues are within 5 blocks of
our site and we already have a good working relationship with both organizations.
Garden City CDC currently serves a variety of families that range geographically from Goodyear to Tonopah, with
the majority of our families being in the western part of Buckeye and Tonopah.
Our last application to the CACFP shows our demographics to include:
• 37.5% Hispanic and 62.5% non-Hispanic children.
This broke down to:
o 8% Black or African American
o 79% White
o 2% Native American
Financially, the o last 8% CACFP Biracial claim reported 61% qualified for free meals, 5% qualified for reduced meals, and 14%
qualified for paid meals. However, Garden City CDC does not charge for meals to any family.
Given our location, serving low income children and their families has been a standard practice for Garden City
CDC. The January report to CACFP shows 27 out of 44 children qualify for free meals. 21 of those are currently
receiving some sort of government assistance. We are consistently around 50% of enrollment that fall in the low
income range. Some months it is higher.

• April 2008 to June 2010 with Eric Santiago. Garden City CDC is on the Quality First waiting list, but we
expect to be accredited by NAC before that comes through.
• Accreditation - From 1990-1993, I worked for The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
as an early childhood regional coordinator. During that time, the accreditation tool was developed and I
served as a sounding board when occasional questions came up. During that time I served on the
accreditation team for a handful of centers, taking the lead on two of them.

• Later on, at Cedar Park Christian Schools in Washington State, I was charged with taking our 4 very
different preschool campuses, unifying them, and leading the system in becoming accredited. We were
successful in this and achieved CDEA accreditation in the '95-'96 school year.
• Garden City CDC is currently working toward the faith based accreditation by NAC.
Organizational Capacity
Human Resources Development begins with the application process. In addition to the usual questions about
training and experience, we ask the applicant to write out what their philosophy of early childhood education is.
This is designed to get them thinking about our work as a profession rather than an easy way to make a few bucks.
References are checked. Applicants also go through a CPS background check and are expected to be eligible to
work once the fingerprint clearance and e-verify have been done. Once hired, the new team member is given a
personal orientation that includes a tour of the facility, and introductions to the rest of the team. We to through the
orientation page required by DHS and our team handbook. They are also given a copy of Stepping in Wet Cement,
and if they don't already have one, a readable Bible. Stepping in Wet Cement is a book I wrote in 2011 on the
importance of early childhood, what children need and why, and some things we can do to maximize a child's
potential. By placing this in their hands at the orientation, team members have available to them a comprehensive
resource on the beliefs held about children from the Garden City CDC perspective.
Team members new to the field are placed under direct supervision of other team members when they are with
children, for at least 6 months. Team members who are not new to the -field may or may not be placed in charge of a
group of children depending on their experience and our need. Those team members receive unscheduled visits
from the director as well as frequent opportunities to ask questions or clarify policy until they are comfortable in
their role. Formal evaluations are done at 3 months and then every 6 months after that. These are times when the
team member and the director each fill out an evaluation form and then compare results in a private conversation.
Any disconnect in ratings are discussed as well as goals set for the future. Finally, a written evaluation covering the
conversation is signed by both the director and the team member and placed in the personnel file along with the
ratings by both parties.
Center Operations: Garden City CDC has included risk management in its operational policies. For example,
team members are asked to abide by the same health practices we ask of the children. Anyone with fever, vomiting,
diarrhea, rashes, and so forth is asked to stay home until they are symptom free. This is sometimes difficult for early
childhood programs because we want the children to be well taken care of. However, experience shows that having
adequate back up makes it easier for team members to stay home when they are sick. This enables them to recover
more readily and keeps the rest of the team, children, and families healthier as well. Vitamin C is also encouraged
and provided on site.
Space for team members has been provided by turning a potential classroom into a resource center/break room
with adult sized tables and chairs. Individual mail slots are provided to make individual, non-emergency
communication easier, and a communication log is located in the resource room where team members can post/read
information or concerns that impact the whole team. Team meetings are held on the last Tuesday evening of each
month. A light dinner is provided and topics of upcoming interest or trainings by outside speakers are planned. The
last half hour of our 2 hour meeting is dedicated to team feedback. Each team member is asked to name one thing
that is going well and one thing we need to work on. The director takes notes and tries to address concerns in a
timely manner. This also gives everyone a chance to think of the whole program rather than their own circle of
influence alone. Differences in expectations are addressed and solutions sought from the entire group. Team
members who are not comfortable voicing their opinions in the large group are encouraged to have a private
conversation with the director about their perspective. If disputes still exist, the involved team members and the
director sit down together to go over the situation. When needed both parties in the dispute are brought together
with the director facilitating the conversation. Usually, though, this isn't needed, as solutions have already been
suggested and talked out at the team meeting.
Hours of operation are 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday —Friday, year around with the exception of major holidays.
Ratios for the infant room are 4-1 sometimes sliding to 5-1 depending on how the children are picked up. Ratios
for the Toddler 1 classroom are 6-1. Ratios will become 4/1 in each classroom if we are awarded the contract.
The schedules for the infant and toddler rooms are very flexible as the teachers attend to the individual needs of the
children. Loosely held schedules are as follows:

SERIAL 14116-RFP
Infants:
Breakfast/bottle: 7:30 — 8:30 as children arrive
Morning snack/bottle: 9:30 — 10:30
Lunch/bottle: 11:30 — 1
PM snack/bottle: 2:30 — 3:30
Diaper check every 1- 1 1/2 hours throughout the day and just before and after naps.
Naps as needed, normally within 1/2 hour of feeding and bottles.
Awake time consists of:
• Large motor practice with tummy time, leg exercises, balls, a balance bar, a bouncer and/or walking
practice.
• Language encouragement with books, singing, and frequent conversation from caregiver. This is often
done in both English and Spanish as many of our families are bilingual.
• Fine motor practice with a variety of hoops, soft blocks, and shape sorters.
• Social learning with a variety of mirrors, friend circles, dolls, and one on one with provider.
• Cognitive development as children explore their environment and the toys and activity tables provided.
• Outside time includes enjoying the change of environment, sensory experiences, crawling and walking
practice, and lots of interaction with the caregivers.

My experience with evidence based curriculum has been geared to the older children. For the most part, I find
purchased curriculums helpful in giving lots of good ideas of activities to interest children. They normally cover all
of the developmental areas and are normally in sequential order so you are not trying to teach a concept before the
foundation has been laid. I also find they must be largely used as a guideline rather than a hard and fast schedule.
In the case of A Beka, it needed to be largely supplemented for preschoolers because there is a lot of memorization
but not a lot of opportunity to learn to think. In the case of the Bob Jones curriculum we are currently using, there is
a lot that needs to be purchased separately, which we don't have funds for, and not as much Bible as I had hoped. In
every case that I have seen so far, there is still the need to be responsive to the interests of the children, and it is
largely impossible to write a curriculum that can predict how those interests will develop.
The Creative Curriculum by Diane Trister Dodge that was designed for family child care providers was coming out
in the early 1980s when I was a family child care provider and just going back to school. It was very flexible, giving
general guidelines and taking into account the reality of working with multiple ages in a home environment. Using
the Creative Curriculum for infants and toddlers is something I will look forward to doing.
Transitions: When a child enters the center with their family there is a code that must be put in to unlock the door.
Once inside there is a small foyer area where parents can sign their children in/out. The inner door has a handle
about 5 feet off the ground. If that door is closed, as it should be, the children are still being safely monitored by
their family member who will walk them to their class. Once inside the classroom the doors are closed to the inside
and outside of the building. Older children go to their playgrounds by class. Children are asked to stay together
until they get inside the gate of their respective playgrounds. Transitioning the infants outside requires a third
person. The EHS floater or director can help with this transition. Transitioning the toddler class is normally not a
problem as the gate to the toddler playground is only about 4 feet from the outside door to their room.
The exception to these general practices comes when one particular family arrives to drop off or pick up. That
family consists of grandparents who are adopting 5 grandchildren. One child is under a year, two are one, one just

SERIAL 14116-RFP
turned two, and one turned four today. Even with two adults, it can be tricky. So, when they come, it is all hands on
deck to help them get in and out of the building gracefully and safely.
Children who are transitioning to a new class are given multiple opportunities to visit that class before a permanent
reassignment is made. Teachers in both the outgoing and incoming classes are consulted for readiness. Currently
we have 9 children enrolled in the infant class. Four of them are already one, but only one is walking with
confidence. She is currently making regular visits to the toddler room in anticipation of being assigned there
permanently in the next few weeks. Teachers in the new class are also encouraged to visit the younger class when
possible to become acquainted with the children and help them feel comfortable when the transition is made.
Family Communication and Engagement has continued to increase and change shape as we gain more experience
with our current clientele. We really want to be sure that the families that choose us are making the best possible
choice they can in terms of a program that suits their needs, their values, and their expectations. To that end, we
now require families to visit us for a tour, preferably with their children, before they enroll their child. If it feels like
a good match for them, we require them to go over our parent policies with us, preferably without the children. That
gives us a chance to see if our expectations match, and gives them a chance to ask questions. If it is still a good
match from their standpoint, they can fill out the application paperwork and enroll their child. Parent orientations
are done with one family at a time so they can ask questions that specifically relate to their family situation without
worrying about what other people think, or taking up too much time. During the orientation, parents are extended an
invitation to drop in on us at any time to see how their child is doing, and they are asked to put our phone number in
their cell phones so they know it is us if we call. Phone calls and e-mails are exchanged to make sure that all the
information is correct. Family pictures are solicited so we can place them in a classroom display or book.
Once the family is enrolled they are given a copy of Stepping in Wet Cement. Parents, too, have a ready resource
on the basics, as well as a chapter on maximizing their child's potential at home. An inscription emphasizes the
need for safety, significance, and a sense of wonder. Parents are also given a family folder that is used to send out
newsletters, calendars, and monthly statements. Families are encouraged to use the folders to communicate with
other families they may want to get to know better, or whose children their child may want to set up a play date
with.
Ongoing assessments are made of the children and 3 parent teacher conference weeks are scheduled each year.
These assessments are based on the High Scope Cor standards for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Parents who
are unable to meet during these times are assured they can meet with the teacher by simply setting up an in person or
phone appointment at any time.
All supplies, including formula and baby food are supplied by the center with the exception of diapers and wipes.
Once awarded this EHS grant, diapers and wipes will also be provided at no charge.
Finally, there are 2 or 3 events during the year that we consider Garden City community events. Families are
encouraged to attend them to get to see their child in action as well as to encourage interaction among the families.
For example, in mid-November we have a Stone Soup Celebration. Each family is invited to supply one vegetable
or soup item. Children and teachers and our cook prepare the vegetables and huge pots of soup are made to share
that night. Children in the preschool class also make butter and biscuits for the occasion. The soup is different
every year, but it is always good, and we always have a crowd.
EHS standards will be met throughout our normal operating hours. Child care needs outside of our normal
operating hours have been handled in three ways. If a family needs to come in before we are open, we can usually
find a team member who can accommodate them for a few days (or in the case of one military family a few weeks).
If a family needs care on a day we are not open, we have been able to recommend a team member who can
accommodate them. Payment for those days is an agreement between the provider and the family and does not enter
into Garden City record keeping at all. There have been cases when a car breaks down or something of the sort and
the family calls us. In that case I just stay until they can come. Life happens. Families that arrive after hours
without calling are heavily charged to discourage them from developing a habit of being late.
There are several community partnerships that come immediately to mind. With the exception of ongoing
partnerships with DES and CACFP and old contracts with the City of Buckeye, all partnerships are relational and
informal.
