From "Once Upon A Time" to "Happily Ever After"
Child Care Connection, Inc. Announces Plans for Expansion

Most children's stories begin with Once upon a time and so does the story of Child Care Connection, Inc. Child Care Connection started as a single day care facility in Lincoln, RI and now owns and operates 11 early learning centers throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The early growth of CCC pales in comparison to the future plans of the organization. These future plans start with the hiring of Kevin Fusco, CCC's new CEO. Kevin came to CCC from Jumpstart For Young Children where he successfully grew 4 sites on the east cost to a replicable model that now operates in 20 cities and 50 college campuses nationwide. With a background in expansion, Kevin will facilitate Child Care Connection's future plans for growth.

The growth has already started with Child Care Connection's new acquisition of three sites located in Rumford, Riverside and Central Falls, RI. These sites were chosen by CCC after determining a strong need in the community for a quality child care provider. In addition to acquiring new early learning centers, Child Care Connection prides themselves in providing their families with one of the best service levels in the child care industry and continuously striving to better the services that they provide. From providing on-going training to their staff in order to stay current with cutting edge teaching techniques to updating and improving their current centers, CCC feels that their families have significant advantages as opposed to other families at other centers. Child Care Connection has also announced the implementation of their new Creative Curriculum Approach to education. This decision was based on extensive nationwide research that concluded the Creative Curriculum Approach to be a valid and reliable way of assessing children's growth and development. With "Where Learning is Child's Play" as the CCC slogan, it is clear that quality education for children is of utmost importance at Child Care Connection.

Child Care Connection hopes to increase their current 11 early learning centers to an eager 20 locations by the end of 2003. The story of Child Care Connection may begin with "Once upon a time" but it also ends with "Happily Ever After".
