Looking Ahead Child Care Center AUXILIARY SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Mission: The Bright Horizons® mission is to provide innovative solutions that help children, families, employees, and employers work together to be their very best. We are committed to providing the highest quality child care, education, and work/life solutions in the world. Promoted Julie Harrington, a Teacher and Lead Educator into the role of Center Director. Promoted our Twos Teacher, Brooke Lieberman, to Lead Educator for our center. Partnered with the Lehigh University Police Department for several events including a Bike Rodeo and Obstacle Course with our Preschool, KPrep & Summer Camp. We’ve moved into the Application Stage for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and hope to be into our Accreditation window by June 2024 with a goal of becoming Accredited by the end of 2024. This will then open up opportunities for us to look into Keystone STARs as well. In addition to pursuing the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation, we are planning for a playground renovation. We will continue to partner with organizations on campus for trainings and to be a part of various events. By the end of 2023, each classroom in the center was opened, from Infants through KPrep, which is the first time since 2020 we’ve had every room up and running. We have hired several new staff members that have completed their 100 Days of HEART programs and have moved on to enrolling in the eCDA program as well as continuing to train and learn about our program. Partnered with Zoellner Arts Center to provide arts and crafts during their Family Event in October and again in November and December.
