Celebrating our Alaska Head Start Associate Award Winners
|
A New Way to Give! CCS Early Learning is pleased to announce that we are once again part of the PFD Charitable Contributions Program for 2012. We are excited about the ongoing opportunity that this provides for all Alaskans to support the work that is done in their communities in a safe, secure, and easy way. By giving through this program, you join other Alaskans to become an important force in bettering our communities and our state. For those of you who already support CCS Early Learning we appreciate your gifts and hope you will use this option to make an additional donation to help us in our work. CCS Early Learning receives the vast majority of our funding from grants – many of which are very tightly restricted in their use. We also must provide a non-federal match of over $670,000 as a requirement to continue receiving our federal grants. Your gift helps us to make quality improvements we feel are necessary in our program and services – and it helps us insure we have the local investment required. If you would like to participate in 2012 just follow these 4 easy steps:
We will not receive your gift or information about your gift until dividends are released in the fall of 2012. You can expect to hear more about this in the media as the PFD application window (January 1 – March 31) approaches, but we wanted to make sure that you heard it from us first. Please help in spreading the word about this avenue to support the important work of non-profit agencies in Alaska to your family, friends, and co-workers.

On behalf of the staff, the Board of Directors, and the Policy Council of CCS Early Learning I would like to welcome you to our website. We strive to make this a resource that is helpful for current and potential families, for those seeking employment, and for those in the community that want to learn more about our agency. We want you to find the specific information you are looking for. If you do not, please take a moment to visit the "contact us" tab for to give us a call or send us an e-mail.
CCS Early Learning (formerly known as Chugiak Children's Services) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides early childhood services in the Mat-Su Borough and in Chugiak and Eagle River. We have been providing services for over 40 years and are very proud of the strong roots and community connections we have developed during this time. We currently employ over 80 individuals, many of which at one time, were enrolled as children or parents themselves. Our employees are the key to our continued success. They work individually with each child and with each parent they encounter to help nurture growth and to remove obstacles that will hinder success. Working with young children and partnering with families is joyful and rewarding work and we feel very fortunate to have been a part of the many thousands of lives that CCS has touched.
As you browse these pages please know that our continued focus is on making a difference in the lives and families of young children within our communities. Our work is about growing strong, successful children and families. It is about developing the next generation of leaders and equipping them with the tools that they will need. But when you examine the work we do closely, it always comes down to helping one child or one parent at time, encouraging and assisting them in reaching their next goal. Making a difference - that is the CCS way.
Thank you for visiting our website!
