Dear CDC Supporter,

This upcoming school year will mark the 54th year at South Highland Child Development Center.In 1971, the Center opened its doors with the goal to provide all children the opportunity to receive meaningful Christian care in a safe and joyful learning environment. Each year, we are committed to exceeding this goal but because of unprecedented circumstances across most child care facilities, the Center’s on-going challenge is reaching financial stability. This year, we are seeking the support from our parents, grandparents, alumni and friends to help us overcome this challenge. Like most child development centers, we use a financial model which relies on tuition as the primary source of revenue for its operations. However, tuition only covers 80% of the center’s annual operating budget. That is why we are introducing the 1971 Campaign to help fill the gap between tuition and the full cost of serving our children and operating the Center. Donations to the campaign will support enhancements that tuition alone does not cover.

Examples include:
+ Updating classroom technology and instructional supplies
+ Supporting the Center’s outstanding staff so we can retain the talent we have
+ Providing support for extracurricular programs and opportunities for our children to ensure the development of the whole child

The Center’s Board of Directors and Leadership ask you to consider partnering with us by making a donation to the 1971 Campaign. All gifts, no matter the size, will have an impact on the children we serve and help make South Highland Child Development Center a wonderful place for our children to learn, play and grow together.

Sincerely,
