Taking Care of Cape Cod’s Children & Families
Cape Cod Child Development Program is committed to helping children and families thrive
through a deep understanding of their individual strengths and challenges.
O U R M I S S I O N :
To provide world-class child and family focused
programs that nurture each child’s full potential.
EARLY INTERVENTION
EI is a program for infants and toddlers (birth to 3 years
old) who have developmental delays or are at risk for a
developmental delay. EI services are designed to help
support families and caregivers, and to enhance the
development and learning of infants and toddlers through
individualized, developmentally appropriate activities within
the child’s and family’s everyday life experiences.
PRESCHOOL & HEAD START
CCCDP is the regional leader in comprehensive Early
Childhood and Child Care Programs for children ages 2.9
to 5 years old. The program offers services to both the child
and the family, providing not only a quality early childhood
educational experience, but also services that look at the
child’s health and dental needs, nutritional needs, and
special educational needs. The program further supports the
family through social and mental health services.
FAMILY CHILD CARE PROGRAM
FCC provides professional childcare services, serving infant
through school-age children in small group home settings
through contracts with 33 state licensed providers. We offer
family child care in 19 communities, the majority are located
in the Upper and Mid-Cape regions. A program team
member visits every provider monthly allowing for ongoing
oversight of children’s care and provider support and
education. Our parent liaison assists families with enrollment,
resource availability and program transitions. Family child
care provides an important option for parents who want to
keep their child in a warm and caring homelike environment
with continuity and consistency of a single caregiver.
SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE
After School and Summer Programs for children ages 5 to 12
years old. Each year Cape Cod Child Development’s School
Age program provides caring and expansive after school
and summer child care to over 145 children, kindergarten to
grade 6, in safe, nurturing and constructive environments at
our three centers in West Yarmouth, Falmouth and Hyannis.
MID-CAPE COORDINATED FAMILY & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (CFCE)/FAMILIES UNITED NETWORK:
Parent education and family support program for families
with children birth through age eight, in Barnstable, Dennis,
and Yarmouth. The program supports healthy parenting
practices for families through parent/child play and learn
groups, parent support groups, and family workshops.
TEEN PARENT PROGRAM
The Teen Parent program works with pregnant and parenting
teens through age 19, providing parenting education,
counseling, support, resource referrals and child care.
Because becoming a parent as a teenager has many
challenges and can at times feel overwhelming, the Teen
Parent Program can help during this important time in the
life of the child and family.
P R O G R A M SCape Cod Child Development is the largest provider of quality childcare, early education, developmental
intervention and family support service programs on Cape Cod, the Islands and Wareham.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO:
Dear Friends of Cape Cod Child Development,
Today’s families face many challenges. At Cape Cod Child Development
we think that finding great child care, early education and family support
services shouldn’t be among them. Through our core offerings, we offer a
broad range of comprehensive services that include preschool/head start;
and school-age programs; early intervention and assessment services;
parent education and playgroups for children; support for teen parents
and a network of family child care homes. Cape Cod Child Development is the largest provider of
quality childcare, early education, developmental intervention and family support services on Cape
Cod, the Islands and Wareham.
Fiscal Year 2017 saw wonderful community collaborations, significant capacity building, facilities’
challenges and improvements and, as always, meaningful connections with our clients. I am happy
to share with you here snapshots of our successes this past year, along with a vision for years to
come. I know that our future will continue to focus on ways to ensure sustainability of current
programs, explore steps we can take to serve more children and families, and to fulfill unmet needs
as they relate to our mission in impactful and innovative ways.
Sincerely,
Anne B. Colwell,
Chief Executive Officer
M E S S A G E S
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT:
“Over the past eight years, I have had the pleasure of watching Cape Cod Child
Development Program truly raise the bar, both for ourselves as an organization and
for our community. I applaud the efforts of the entire staff and I am inspired by their
enthusiasm and dedication to providing world class child and family focused programs.
I am both proud of what Cape Cod Child Development has accomplished this past
year and exhilarated about our future. We are committed to continuing the very best in
child development programming and we are excited to have you on our team.”

Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. The Department of Health’s Family Survey indicated
that 92.3% of families feel that EI services helped
their children develop and learn.
2. Our Early Intervention staff was able to engage 87.5%
of families admitted into Cape Cod Hospital through
in-person visits and explain the EI services available to
all families and the benefits to their children of those
services.
3. Through a collaboration with Cape Cod Healthcare, EI
staff addressed the developmental needs of Neonatal
Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and SEN infants’ needs
by meeting with new mothers affected by substance
abuse and encouraging participation in Early
Intervention services.
4. EI’s participation in the 2016 Holiday Project
was a great success. Families with a child with a
developmental disability who are struggling to make
ends meet were helped with donations of clothing,
toys and books from Broad Reach Healthcare, Liberty
Commons of North Chatham, Toys for Tots Cape
Cod and Eight Cousins Book Store of Falmouth. Early
Intervention Staff volunteered to pick up, organize,
and prepare all the items for delivery in time for
the holidays. In total, we received over $13,000 in
clothing, toy and book donations that we were able to
share with some of our neediest families.
Statistics: In 2016, we received 1,049 referrals into our Early
Intervention program. A total of 795 children were
eligible for and received services.
E A R LY I N T E R V E N T I O N
100% COMPLIANCE
According to the Department
of Health for Fiscal Year 2017,
Cape Cod Child Development
has achieved 100% compliance
in both providing services in
a timely fashion as well as in
assisting families through the
transition process from Early
Intervention to the Preschool
programs. This accomplishment
is credited to our committed
and competent agency.
“I am a foster parent for the Department
of Children and Families on Cape Cod
who fosters children under the age of 5,
including infants born addicted to drugs
coming from the hospital to me after
withdrawing from various substances.
As soon as the child comes into my
home, I call CCCDP’s Early Intervention
for an evaluation. They come every week
providing the most valuable services for
these children and are dedicated, caring
and extremely successful in providing
development support to a population of
children that deserve these services.
Last year I fostered a boy named James
who arrived to me at 6 months old in a
state of severe neglect. He had been left
on the floor of his house, in deplorable
conditions, with a minimum of care,
barely any clothes and not having had
a bath for over a month. Having had
no real attention given to him, he was
devoid of any emotional response, but
played quietly on his own with any object
given to him.
He was evaluated by the EI team and
they found he had no muscle tone and
was not making eye contact. Donna
G., an incredible EI professional, came
every week – spending at least two hours
each visit – helping James overcome his
rough start in life. She and her amazing
coworker also taught us how to work
with him to help him learn the things he
so readily wanted to learn. After many
months of exercises, games, toys, care
and love, James began to bloom. He
smiled and learned what they taught and
soaked up the attention and love they
gave him. He became a happy, well-
adjusted 15 month old who now loves
Mickey Mouse. He learned to crawl then
began to walk. He was adopted by a
loving family and is thriving.
I believe none of this would have been
possible without the incredible work from
CCCDP’s Early Intervention team.
I have nothing but wonderful things
to say about the professionals there.
They are the most important tool in my
toolbox to support my foster children.
Cape Cod Child Development should
be the model for all communities
throughout the state.”
Kate Bruster, West Yarmouth

CCCDP.ORGTaking Care of Cape Cod’s Children & Families
Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. Cape Cod Child Development Program’s Preschool and
Head Start programs had a restructuring of management
staff to allow for Center Managers at each site. This
allows for direct, real time support for teachers while
simultaneously creating opportunities for promotion
beyond the Lead Teacher Position.
2. CCCDP opened a new location for half day Head Start
Programming in Centerville, MA. The opening of this
center added two classroom availabilities to families in the
area and houses 54 children in four classrooms total. The
programs run from 8:30 to 12:30 and from 10:00 to 2:00 to
offer flexibility to parents.
3. CCCDP Preschool Program and Head Start programs
converted from a limited in-house resource for families
with children in need of mental health services to the
Justice Resource Institute (JRI) this program year. JRI has
the capability to be present in several sites at once, offers
in classroom supports and suggestions, and handles
referrals based on expert observation.
4. CCCDP Preschool and Head Start program submitted our
first application to the Office of Head Start requesting
early Head Start grant monies. Although the grant is still
pending, the addition of these grant monies will help to
expand center programs for infants and toddlers across
Cape Cod.
5. CCCDP’s educational programming has made great
strides towards helping our target populations become
school ready. An especially noticeable jump occurred on
our growing English Language Learner (ELL) communities
with growth in all five of the following areas: Social-
Emotional composite, Physical composite, Language
composite, Cognitive composite, Literacy composite, and
Mathematics.
F. Streamlining services between Family Child Care,
Preschool, and School Age programs has allowed us to
gain better communication across programs for teachers,
students, and families. This has also allowed us to offer the
same technological support and content support (health,
nutrition, etc.) to all programs.
Statistics:
1. Number of Families served: 476
2. Number of Children served: 524 (48 two year olds, 166
three year olds, 218 four year olds, 92 five year olds)
3. Out of 87 Parent Surveys returned in May 2016:
70 were Very Satisfied w/CCCDP services, 17 were
Satisfied and 0 were
Not Satisfied. Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. Creation of Parent Liaison role to provide advocacy
resource and increase enrollment.
2. Establishment of New Provider Orientation to train/
standardize CCCDP practices.
3. Recruitment of 8 family child care providers resulting in
expanded capacity to serve families.
4. Improved collaboration with Early Intervention Program
to facilitate earlier referral and needs awareness of our
shared children.
Statistics:
1. Enrollment of children increased from 124 to 148,
representing a 19% increase in service to families!
2. A 51% increase in meeting day care needs for children
at risk, our supportive children, who are referred through
the Department of Children and Families.
3. In January 2016: 16 Supportive children were enrolled
and 44 on the wait list, in January 2017: 35 Supportive
children were enrolled and 25 on the wait list.
H E A D S TA R T & P R E S C H O O L
Elder spoke no English when he started preschool at Cape Cod Child
Development. He initially had lots of trouble sharing with the other children in
the classroom. His teacher, Miss Laura, used lots of visual aids and went over
the rules several times a day with the entire class. Within a month’s time, Elder
had significantly improved his English speaking and comprehension and he
now listens closely in story time, and ask and answers questions about what
has been read aloud. He also became a very compassionate child, sharing
and helping others. Elder’s Mom and Dad are very happy with his progress in
school and also at home.
“Working with CCCDP is a terrific experience in my career
and personal life. The involvement with children and
families has taught me and also given me the opportunity
to demonstrate how great the work we do is. Here is just
one experience I’d like to share: I accepted a nearly four
year old child, just before he was to enter preschool. He
had no experience following routines or sitting down to
do group activities. Because of that his mother worried
that preschool would be hard for him. So I began working
with him on following routines and how to engage in all
the activities that were awaiting him at preschool. The
time came for him to go to preschool classes and I told
his mother that he would do just fine. A month later she
texted me to let me know that her son was doing great and
everything he learned from daycare was absolutely helpful.
She was so thankful and happy for all I did for her son. I
was so thrilled that he was applying everything I helped
him with. I am truly thankful to Nancy Sorbo and her team
for all the support and training.“

Taking Care of Cape Cod’s Children & Families
S C H O O L A G E P R O G R A M
At the Falmouth After School program, we have amazing
children and families. One single mother with three
children under the age of 9 years, has thanked us each and
every day when she picks up her children.
She is a wonderful person, and always treats the staff with
respect. She communicates well with us and gets involved
whenever there is an incident at the center involving her
children. Her goal is to ensue that everyone is on the
same page and there is no gray area where her children’s
behavior or development is concerned.
She appreciates the educational and fun field trips and
enrichment activities for her children. She often can’t
spare the time or money to take her kids herself, so she is
thankful that they “don’t have to miss out on anything fun
because of me.” She is also grateful that our staff helps
do homework with her children, because her 9-year old
is starting to come home with more difficult work, and
sometimes she feels like she cannot always help.
We are thrilled to positively impact the lives of her children
and we appreciate her enthusiasm for CCCDP.
SCHOOL AGE STORY
Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education ASOST Grant Funds for Service
Learning and Social Emotional Learning enabled
Hyannis and Yarmouth School Age Directors to
attend both Service Learning Training and Social
Emotional Learning as well as funding Staff meetings
for SAYO Assessments last spring at both Centers.
2. We provided an eight week Social Emotional
Learning and follow-up Service Learning Summer
Program for 25 children from Yarmouth and Hyannis
at the Arts Center in Harwich with Tammy Harper and
Lenore Lyons. Tammy Harper also provided a half-day
session during the CCCD Staff Day on building staff
team work and stronger communication skills with
our staff and with our families.
3. We offered many summer field trips and on-site
special activities, including an educational pirate
cruise on Lobster Tales in Plymouth, live theater
experiences at the Cape Playhouse, Barnstable
Police Kids Day, trips to the Long Pasture Audubon
Center, a presentation by a Barnstable Fish and
Wildlife Officer, weekly dance lessons with Pam
Wills, presentations

Houston and his Cape
Abilities Team for luncheons, Holiday and Presidential
Jeopardy games, kickball games and even a water
balloon fight. We also partnered with the Barnstable
High School Key Club on several occasions in
February, April and October at our Center and
offered a “Super Hero” curriculum, including books,
activities and games designed by Chris Howard.

Families United Network playgroups offer an opportunity
for socialization, language enhancement, expansion of play,
following routines, and interacting with other children. Groups
are also a wonderful opportunity for families to meet other
families, especially if they are new to the area or are feeling
isolated.
Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. There has been an increase in the number of playgroups
offered, including inclusionary groups with Early
Intervention, groups in the community, and support groups
for parents. There has been an increase in the number of
families attending the groups.
2. There has also been an increase in the number of family
events offered, including story nights, financial literacy
night, family fun events.
M I D - C A P E C O O R D I N AT E D F A M I LY A N D C O M M U N I T Y E N G A G E M E N T ( C F C E ) / F A M I L I E S U N I T E D N E T W O R K ( F. U . N . ) : T E E N PA R E N T S P R O G R A M
In one of the Families United Network’s playgroups,
“Once Upon A Time,” a goal is for the children to begin
to understand dramatic play in a focused way. Usually
costuming comes naturally to children, but sometimes
inhibitions set in as they grow older, and a certain
shyness of presenting self-expression can be noted. At
first, a playgroup member named Matthew refused to
wear any costuming at all. But then eventually he began
to take part, coloring a cat mask and then making the
sounds of the kitten while holding the mask up to his
face. This is a sign of his beginning to use his imagination
toward story-making and story-creating and it was great
to see it occur in our F.U.N. group.
The Teen Parents program is committed to supporting teen
parents in the ways that they need, in order to be successful
in school and at home. Young fathers and grandparents are
encouraged to take an active role in the program as well.
Notable Achievements in 2016: 1. Teen Parents program has been reinforced with the hiring
of a Program Coordinator to conduct the Program; one
family advocate from CCCDP has also been assigned
to be part of the staff. Teen Parents program now has
regular meetings, communication and coordination with
the CCCDP Intake department and Family Child Care
program.
2. Materials have been translated into Portuguese and
Spanish, allowing better communication with clients.
3. New collaborations with outside community organizations,
such as Health Imperatives and WIC, have allowed us to
set goals for our clients together.
4. We have seen an increase in the number of our clients
since the Teen Parents program staff organized effective
ways to collect referrals from the community, schools,
organizations.
5. A monthly teen support group has been launched.
Statistics: Currently 9 teen families are receiving services.
One young mother, Myrna, had a significant issue with
transportation for her and her young child. The CCCDP
bus and her public school bus arrived at the same time and
because she preferred to wait for her child’s bus in order
to see him off to the daycare provider, Myrna was regularly
missing school.
Because of her inadequate English language skills, she
was not able to explain and request the assistance she
needed to address the situation. However, her CCCDP teen
program family advocate communicated with her in her own
language and got the details of the problem. In partnership
with Health Imperatives, she created a plan to enroll her
again in school and coordinated with both transportation
offices to assure that she will have the enough time to send
her child on the CCCDP bus first before boarding her own
school bus. For this teen mother, CCCDP was an enormous
help at a challenging time in her life.
F.U.N. STORY
TEEN PARENT’S PROGRAM STORY
3. Parents have formed meaningful friendships in the Families
United Network playgroups. They have become supportive
of each other and each other’s children in playgroup.
Statistics:1. There are currently 40 families attending playgroups,
including on-site and in the community, some attending
more than one group, or attending with two children.
2. Towns covered include all of Mid-Cape area, families
outside of catchment area may enroll if space is available,
after giving priority to Mid-Cape.
