FSA is now accepting enrollment in its Child Devleopment Centers

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 26, 2009 – Family Service Association's Child Development Centers are funded, in part, by the California Department of Education Child Development Division, First 5 Riverside, United Way of the Inland Valleys and private donations.
    Dom Betro, President and CEO of FSA, said “Our Child Development Centers are different because we offer more than just child care. Our program is designed to meet the needs of the whole child; socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
    “Our Centers provide a safe, stimulating and enriching environment with highly-qualified and dedicated staff, to care for children ages 6 weeks to 12-years-old.”
    May Eslava, Child Development Administrator for FSA, said that FSA has eleven Centers located in areas of high-need in the Riverside, Moreno Valley, Hemet and Cabazon areas.
    Parents with children enrolled in FSA’s Child Development Centers are happy with the services. Tiana Thomas, a single Mother who often works more than 40 hours a week, has had her two-year-old son Keoni enrolled in FSA’s child care for more than a year.
    She said, “The staff is down-to-earth and my son loves going there because it’s like a second home.” She added, “The best thing about it is the education he’s getting. He already knows his colors and numbers.” She said that she has watched her son’s self-esteem increase and feels that he is happy and well-adjusted.
    Brandy Franklin, also has her two and a half-year-old son Jayden enrolled in the program. She said, “I like the education he’s getting. I’m totally pleased with the program and would recommend it to anyone.”
    If you would like more information about enrolling your child in the program, make a donation or become a volunteer, then please call FSA’s Child Development Administration office at 951-779-9623.
