Did you know Encompass children have a need for food to supplement what is available at home over the weekend? At the Rosebush Center, 76% of the children qualify for free or reduced meals through the USDA Food Program, one indicator of low income. At the Arlene B. Walter Center, the number is 60%. Parents struggle to provide housing, transportation, clothing, and food for their families on a consistent basis.Teachers explain how hunger affects the classroom, especially on Monday mornings. Some children have negative behavioral outbursts; others complain of stomach aches and headaches; many simply cannot focus on the task at hand; some are just tired. These children are hungry, and after breakfast, some of this behavior returns to “normal,” allowing the child to focus on learning.A research project by the University of Wisconsin has found that growing up in severe poverty affects the way children’s brains develop, potentially putting them at a lifelong disadvantage. The study, which combined the expertise of neuroscientists and economists, found that the parts of the brain tied to academic performance were 8 to 10 percent smaller for children who grow up in very poor households, with poor nutrition being one of the contributing characteristics.In 2016, the Schreiber Community Grant Program gifted funds to expand this program after we piloted the Weekend Food Packs through a gift from Service League of Green Bay at our Cornerstone Center. Service League has again committed funds to support the at risk Cornerstone Center, and the Schreiber Community Grant Program has again committed funds to support the Arlene B. Walter Center and The Rosebush Center. Encompass is very grateful to both of these organizations because of the impact on our children - improved behavior, food security, and healthy food options for the weekend. Thank you to the partners at Schreiber Foods and the women of Service League for making the Weekend Food Packs possible!

Board of Directors Encompass Early Education and Care, Inc. is a non-profit organization providing education and care for children and support for families with a commitment to compassion, excellence and advocacy.

We accomplish this by integrating service, social and financial commitments:

Service Commitment To provide the highest quality education, care and programs for all children, recognizing diversity and the need to strengthen and empower those we serve.

F inancial CommitmentTo build and maintain a sound financial base by the blending of funding sources, continuous agency improvement, and leadership vision.

Social CommitmentTo operate this agency in a way that improves the quality of life for children and families, our employees, and the community.

AffordabilityProvide the highest quality care for all children, regardless of financial means.

Dear Friends,I am pleased to present the 2016 Encompass Early Education and Care, Inc. Annual Report. Significant changes, most often times, require an organization to re-evaluate how they do business and make necessary changes. I can assure you, 2016 brought with it a great deal of re-evaluating. The State of Wisconsin implemented two major funding changes within the Foster Grandparent and child care assistance systems, and a great deal of energy was spent on federal wage and hour changes which never came to fruition. Encompass staff and Board of Directors worked together to problem solve these issues, ensuring that we meet new requirements today, while developing valuable processes for future opportunities. I am happy to say that we not only survived 2016 but Encompass is in a better place because of these challenges. While these issues held our attention, the agency remained focused on our mission. We renovated the outdoor play space at our Rosebush Center and expanded the outdoor play space at our De Pere Center to include nature-based components such as an outdoor kitchen, child gardens and log climbing structure. The agency raised additional support for the weekend food packs, serving about 101 Encompass children each week. We implemented agency wide Conscious Discipline training and also reached an educational milestone for EEEC teachers. In 2016, 70% of Encompass program staff have a minimum of an Associate’s Degree or higher, a 10% increase from just five years ago. Our children need not worry about increased requirements or pending regulatory changes but they do deserve the best care we can provide. I am proud to say that our long standing tradition of excellence in early care and education remains strong at Encompass, as it has for the past 97 years.

Sincerely,

Sue Vincent Executive Director

De Pere PlaygroundMembers of Leadership Green Bay serviced the community through a new nature-centered playground located at the Encompass De Pere Center. The team created a plan in mind to keep children engaged and active outdoors. The playground includes an outdoor kitchen with a rain barrel, music wall, and bridge over a tree cookie path leading to a sandbox, raised garden beds and trellis, large tree configuration for climbing on, trees for future shade, log table built into the ground, and an outdoor sensory table.

Encompass launched a new website in the Summer of 2016. The goal was to provide visitors with clear and accurate information about Encompass while making it user friendly. New features include a responsive design for easy viewing on smartphones and tablets, an online employment application, and a new online donation form.

The Rosebush PlaygroundThanks to our many supporters for funding the renovation of the Rosebush Playground. The playground was installed during late Summer and all the components have been approved by the staff and children who have spent countless beautiful fall days enjoying the out of doors.

The infants and toddlers enjoy a space designed just for them, while the preschoolers climb, jump, slide, ride the bus, play house, and appreciate no splinters.

The “outdoor classroom” is essential to promote physical health and development, creative play, strength and agility, and an appreciation of gardens for so many of our most at risk children.
