Circle C Child DevelopmentCenter


HISTORY of Circle C CDC

The Circle C Child Development Center was founded as an integral part of the master plan for Circle C residents. Believing that having a high quality, state-of-the-art child development center would create a happy family atmosphere and peace of mind for parents, Circle C Ranch included a child development center early in its planning. The safety and well being of a child should be a right according to the planners. The center is unique because of its relationship to the community in which it was established. In order to ensure the highest quality care for Circle C?’s youngest residents, a unique system of funding for the facility was established with the initial residential development at Circle C. Every home builder contracts to donate $1000 to the Circle C Child Development Center escrow fund upon the closing of a new home. The goal of these donations is to provide a mechanism for funding the facility, thus, enabling the majority of tuition to directly fund the operations and programmatic aspects of the Center.

(Conservative estimation) 2,000 home x $1,000 = $2,000,000

Can anyone explain to me why the ?“mechanism?” of this facility could cost two million dollars?

Are the playground equipments made of Karat Gold?

To Decipher One Sentence


Let us to decipher one important sentence.

The goal of these donations is to provide a mechanism for funding the facility, thus, enabling the majority of tuition to directly fund the operations and programmatic aspects of the Center.

This means.........................

$1,000/per home escrow fund has been used SOLELY for the ?“mechanism?” of the facility.

Majority of the tuition has been used for operational expenses and children?’s programs. Small portion of the tuition has also been used for ?“mechanism?” of the facility.

Let us dig down to the bottom and find out what kind of ?“mechanism?” could cost more than two million dollars.

I will share the information in those documents with all of you after I have received and examined them.
