**************************************************

For the past fifty years, CIL has specialized in the area of childcare
services to low-income children and families. CIL has provided high quality,
affordable early childhood development services to thousands of those
actively seeking employment, in school/training, welfare recipients, working
poor, single parents, working parents, and/or at risk families within
Long Beach’s disadvantaged
community who meet the State eligibility guidelines.

CIL’s services are located in Priority 1, Service Planning Area 8, according
to the Los Angeles County Local Planning Councils Priority in need of
subsidized childcare services. CIL has recognized this critical need and
has responded with high quality affordable early childhood development
services. For some of these families, this high quality, safe, and affordable
child development program can mean the difference between working and
being unemployed.

CIL’ s fully state-subsidized Long Beach Child Development Center,
located at 2222 Olive Avenue, is newly renovated, thanks to generous donations
by the City of Long Beach NAP, the California Department of Education,
the United Way, the Ahmanson Foundation, and other donators.

CIL is also so proud for its Signal Hill Facility (Established in 2004)), the Signal Hill Child Development
Center, located at: 2399 California Avenue, Signal Hill CA 90755.  
This state-of-the-art facility was made possible through collaboration with the Los Angeles
Community Design Center (currently named Abode), funded through generous contributions by the
S. Mark Taper Foundation, Crail-Johnson Foundation, Parsons Foundation,
Ahmanson Foundation, the City of Signal Hill, and many others.

Child Care Food Program

Through a fully-subsidized program funded by the Department
of Education, CIL provides Child Development and Before/After School Care
students with well-balanced meals and nutrition education. The students
receive breakfast, a hot lunch, and a nutritious afternoon snack, prepared
by our chefs in our on-site fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen facilities.

Child Development Careers Project (CDCP)

From 2000 – 2005, the Long Beach Community Improvement League, through funding by the California
Department of Education Child Development Division (CDE/CDD), and in collaboration
with the Department of Public Social Services, Community Colleges, Resource
and Referral Agencies, and other entities, provided numerous interested and motivated
CalWORKs/Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) participants with
a program that took them from the classroom to a career in Child Development.
  CDCP’s Mission was To provide quality child development training
to CalWORKs/TANF participants that lead to a rewarding career as early
childhood educators. 

CDCP Participants Eligibility Requirements

All participants must fulfilled the following requirements in order to
qualify for CDCP:

• To be on CalWORKs/TANF and receive cash
  aid
• To be committed to the goal of becoming
  an Early Childhood Education Teacher
• To successfully pass an interview, fingerprinting
  and background check, child abuse clearance, and TB test.

This is an approved Welfare-to-Work Plan which meets the thirty-two
hour a week participation requirement in work experience and classroom
time. As an approved plan, clients are eligible for support services through
the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) for child care, book fees,
school supplies, transportation, and other related costs.

The intent of this project is to train and equip eligible CalWORKs participants
to become Child Development Teachers based on the Child Development Permit
Matrix, within a 24-month period. Participants will be placed in jobs
with living wages.

CDCP Highlights & Achievements

On June 25, 2004, we proudly celebrated the graduation of our second

In a beautiful luncheon setting at Compton Community College, CIL’s executive
director, Dr. Farahnaz Khaleghi, and CDCP Program Coordinator Laura Sidney, awarded program participants
their certificates for successfully graduating the program with Associate
Teacher & Teacher Permits

We at CIL wish all of our CDCP
graduates a successful and rewarding professional life!

Workforce Investment Act (WIA)

CIL can reflect upon a long and successful history of working with unemployed
residents of Long Beach in different projects and capacities. The Job
Training and Placement Act Program, in partnership with the City of Long
Beach Career Transition Center, provides on-the-job training for unemployed,
under-employed, and hard to employ youth and adults. The services provided
to eligible participants effectively responds to local labor market demand,
resulting in job placement, ensuring long term job retention, and maximizing
individual earning potential.

Testimonials from LBCIL’s Families & Participants

About: the Child Development Careers Project: I
am enrolled in a course which allows me to learn about Child Development
and the history  of early childhood, from disorders to behavior   to intelligence.
Because of all the wonderful things I have learned, I will be able to
be the best child care provider or teacher that I can be.

The Child Development classes have helped me with my own family.
I’m more loving and patient and am trying to set a good example for my
child to follow. What he sees and learns at home will determine his outlook
on life. One day, I will be the Administrator of a Child Development Program.
