Child and Family Network Centers delivers quality education to Alexandria’s at-risk kids. It is the only nonprofit in Alexandria, Virginia, providing free, quality, bilingual preschool and family support to members of the community.
Child and Family Network Centers envisioned expanding the organization to increase the number of at-risk children receiving high-quality, free preschool education and to demonstrate its program as a regional and national model for community-based family service.
Their aspirations were to:
- Expand from eight classrooms serving 140 families in Alexandria to 17 classrooms serving 270 families through expansion to the West End of Alexandria and South Arlington;
- Improve the current organizational structure, particularly in the areas of development, communications, outcomes, technology, and human resources; and
- Enhance programmatic initiatives including converting to full-day preschool education and expanding support services through partnering or direct service (i.e., before/after care, health care, legal/immigration, mental health, financial/banking advice, etc.).
