It is amazing how quickly time flies when were doing the work
that we love. The Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center has been
busy refining our programs and services and making plans for the
future with our next strategic plan. We are also busy planning
celebratory activities to commemorate our 40th anniversary as a
nonprofit serving the greater Boston Asian American community!
As the global financial crisis deepens, BCNC is engaging in some
very serious conversations and making decisions that will help
ensure our vitality and sustainability for the next 40 years. Our
focus is on maximizing our
resources by streamlining the organization, and keeping our
impact high for children, youth, adults and families.
Our commitment to our community remains the primary focus, and
in this spirit, theres an exciting new initiative that Id like to
share. As you may have read through our eNews, BCNC has been
fortunate to receive a Congressional Earmark grant in 2008 through
the support
of Congressman Michael Capuano (Thank you, Congressman!). This
project between our Adult Education program and our Childcare
Department will focus on providing not only English in the context
of childrens development, but also provide our staff with training
in core 21st Century skills including the use of technology and
databases, and the development of critical thinking through use of
evaluation tools and metrics.
Higher childcare accreditation and licensing standards will
require teachers have received or be working toward a college
degree in order to meet minimum state and national standards in a
couple of years, and its our hope that we can use our curriculum to
support non-native English speaking childcare staff in other
organizations to be successful and have a career ladder as early
educators.
Earlier, I mentioned increasing BCNCs impact and maximizing our
resources. Projects which provide opportunities to increase peoples
skills provide a clear community benefit with impact far beyond the
funding. Its programs and services like these which create
opportunities and support for our families, and I hope that you
enjoy reading about BCNCs impact in the newsletter.
But our resources will be quickly depleted without continued
help and support from our family of supporters and donors. For this
support, we are extremely appreciative and cannot extend our
gratitude enough as we are more than aware of how these tough
economic times impact us all. Thank you for giving us the
opportunity to be one of the premier Asian American nonprofits in
the country!

Thank you to our
Red Envelope Giving Circle
In the Chinese culture, hong bao (a red envelope with money
inside) is given away for special celebrations such as the New
Year, birthdays, and weddings. It symbolizes good fortune,
prosperity, love, and appreciation.
The Red Envelope Giving Circle represents a group of leadership
donors who, through their support of the Boston Chinatown
Neighborhood Center, show their commitment to children, youth,
strengthening families, and building a stronger community. We
deeply appreciate the donors listed here for their generosity
towards the annual fund during fiscal year 2008.

Family Child Care
O ver the years, BCNC has developed an innovative approach to
programming that emphasizes whole families, an approach that allows
residents of all ages to engage in a network of services that
supports their learning, growth and success. Today, that
family-centered approach underlies all our work, and encompasses
eight programs that serve
infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; school-aged children and
youth; parents and grandparents;
new immigrants; and those who are born here.
Acorn Center for Early Education and Care Acorn received
national accreditation from the National Association for the
Education of Young Children in 2000, and was reaccredited in 2006.
This process is very rigorous as only 8% of centers nationwide are
accredited. During FY2008, Acorn enhanced its child
assessment system utilizing an online Creative Curriculum
Assessment Tool. We maintained and improved our nutrition program
and enhanced our parent services with a grant from the
Massachusetts Children's Trust Fund.
