Make a Difference

In January of 2002, Fairfield Child Development Center was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization. This means that we do not make a profit and there are virtually no "owners." The school as an organization owns itself. It is operated by a governing board, which meets monthly. The preschool program here had been at another location for eighteen years and when the decision to move was made we had to choose between organizing as a "for-profit" or a "not-for-profit" corporation. The staff and organizers chose to be "not-for-profit" in order to keep the focus on the children and not the bottom line.
