Page 23 Hopkins House 2012 Annual Report - Page 2 Hopkins House: Committed to Excellence PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE J. Glenn Hopkins President/CEO I received a handwritten letter from the grandmother of one of our “Young Scholars” enrolled in the Hopkins House Preschool Academy. “When I was a little girl,” she wrote, “my mother asked me one day what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her I wanted to be a wife. She smiled and said to me, ‘Don’t you want to go to school?’” “School hadn’t occurred to me; the only world I knew then was being at home, cooking, cleaning, and doing what mothers do. Children in my neighborhood didn't have preschool, we had babysitters. We played with toys and waited all day for our moms to come pick us up after work.” During the 12-month period ended June 30, 2012, Hopkins House served 339 children, youths, and families at five locations in Northern Virginia, through our nationally accredited, Virginia Star-Rated preschool academies and our innovative Early Childhood Learning Institute (ECLI). During this same period, Hopkins House employed 55 professionals, contributed over $3 million to the local economy, and provided meaningful experiences to over 100 volunteers. With the help of our ECLI staff, 34 teens and adults earned college credits and professional certifications in Early Care and Education. And, nurtured and guided by our top-notch educators, 28 “Young Scholars” graduat- ed from our preschool academies and entered kindergarten ready and eager to learn. “It was amazing how my granddaughter changed when she went to Hopkins House. The questions she asked! The words she learned!” wrote the grandmother. “I didn't learn some of those words until I was a grownup! I wish I had gone to Hopkins House, maybe I would be more today than just a grandmother.” This grandmother’s touching letter reminds us how Hopkins House’s commitment to excellence is changing the world in positive and enduring ways; one child, one teenager, one parent, one grand- mother; one life at a time. Hopkins House programs are made possible by the generosity of the 574 individuals, foundations, organizations, and businesses that supported our work in 2012 with donations totaling over $400,000*. On behalf of the children and families of Hopkins House who benefitted most from your generosity, and on behalf of our Trustees and staff, I send you our heartfelt gratitude. *Contributions to Hopkins House are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.

We believe that well-educated, highly experienced, and competent faculty are the cornerstone of quality early childhood education. We believe that low-resourced teens and adults should have access to postsecondary education and opportunities for meaningful careers in the early care and education field, as a means to in- crease their income and raise their socioeconomic status. Vision Vision We believe that Hopkins House should be a leader in promoting positive, enduring change in social policy affecting the lives of children, teens, and adults - particularly those at greatest risk of diminished potential due to their socioeconomic status. Mission The mission of Hopkins House is to provide high impact education- Mission al programs and opportunities to children, youths, and their fami- lies - particularly at risk and low-income, working families - to help them achieve, in measurably effective ways, their full in- tellectual, economic, and social potential. Founded in 1939, Hopkins House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization named in memory of Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, a physician who tended to children in Alexandria for more than 30 years. Today, the organization is committed to the development and education of children, youths, and adults, especially those who are under-resourced. The Hopkins House’s Helen Day Preschool Academy is located in the City of Alexandria, and its newest center, James L. & Juliette McNeil Preschool Academy, is located in Fairfax County, Vir- ginia. Both preschool academies are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Virginia QRIS Star-rated. In partnership with Northern Virginia Community College, Hopkins House’s Early Childhood History History Learning Institute (ECLI) provides low-income teens and adults with the foundation and sup- port they need in order to enter the early care and education field as a professional, to advance within the field, and to earn higher pay. The ECLI operates in three locations: City of Alexan- dria; Arlington; and Fairfax County. Hopkins House 2012 Annual5 Report - Page 5 Hopkins House: Committed to Excellence COMPREHENSIVE EARLY EDUCATION Preschool Academy Enrollment For the first time in many years both preschool academies began the school year at or near full capacity. The Helen Day Preschool Academy in the City of Alexandria maintained average enrollment throughout the school year of 73 out of 75 Young Scholars and the James L. & Juliette McNeil Preschool Academy in Fairfax County maintained average enrollment of 93 out of 100 Young Scholars. Both preschool academies had a growing list of students seeking to enroll — many not yet born. National Accreditation The Hopkins House Preschool Academies are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), a dis- tinction of excellence earned by fewer than 8% of preschools nationwide. Young Scholars Fly Twenty-eight Young Scholars, ages 4 and 5 years old, graduat- ed from the Hopkins House Preschool Academy and entered private, parochial, and public elementary schools in Virginia and elsewhere. The graduates scored above average on cogni- tive and curriculum based assessments, including the Phono- logical Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) and the Pre- school & Kindergarten Behavioral Scale (PKBS). One Young Scholar earned the highest score in the State of Virginia on the kindergarten standardized test. Hopkins House 2012 Annual Report - Page 6 Hopkins House: Committed to Excellence INNOVATIVE ADULT EDUCATION In partnership with Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) and childcare centers throughout the region, the Hopkins House ECLI / Early Childhood Learning Institute assisted low-income individuals to earn professional certifica- tions, college credits, and a career in the early childhood edu- cation field. Classes, counseling, and academic services were provided at ECLI centers in Arlington, City of Alexandria, and Fairfax County. This year, the ECLI added a fourth cen- ter in Annandale, Virginia, and increased enrollment from just 30 students in 2009, to 111 students this year. ECLI / Early Childhood Learning Institute 24 ECLI students earned a Child Development Associate (CDA) professional certificate. 13 ECLI students earned 19 college credits and a NVCC Career Studies Certificate. 15 ECLI students graduated from the institute with 31 college credits and a NVCC Child Development Certificate. 17 ECLI students gained employment at local childcare centers with starting salaries of $25,000 or more plus ben- efits — $5,000 above the national median for childcare The ECLI / Early Childhood Learning Institute is made possible through generous funding from the Washington Area Women’s Foundation, U.S. Department of Labor, Virginia Department of Social Services, Alexandria City Government, and individual donors to Hopkins House.

  • 2015 VOR Report from Virginia This Letter Shared with Our Parents In
    2015 VOR Report from Virginia This letter shared with our parents in February 2015 is a report on actions taken by the Administration that thwarted the efforts of our supporters in the Virginia Senate and House during the 2015 session to preserve the Training Center option. The result means the closure of NVTC will happen. Our letter also summarizes the actions and those of the Parents and Associates Board that entitle your loved ones to quality care in the placements you choose for them. NVTC Likely to Close; Your Rights to Quality Care for Your Loved Ones With the 2015 session of the General Assembly scheduled to end on February 28, enough action or inaction has taken place to report where things stand with respect to the future of NVTC and the other Training Centers. The bottom line is that the McAuliffe Administration appears determined to close NVTC, and the General Assembly will take no direct steps to stop it; hence, NVTC is very likely to close. The future of CVTC and SWVTC remains unclear. Despite the likely closure of NVTC, we have accomplished a great deal in our three years of advocacy. As a result, you have legal rights to more residential options than were proposed in the original Settlement Agreement, and assurances from both the Commonwealth and DBHDS that your loved ones will receive care that is “comparable” to that received at NVTC in their new settings. Late last year, Virginia State Senators Newman and Puller, Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn, Bill Murray (the policy director for then Governor-elect McAuliffe’s transition team), and Peter Kinzler met with the Governor and his staff to urge him to keep NVTC and the other Centers open.

  • The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240
    The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Zinke, As a united group of 227 state legislators representing 17 coastal states, we are writing to you to oppose the Proposed National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2019-2024 (Proposed Leasing Program). This proposal seeks to exponentially expand oil and gas exploration, production, and drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico, which for many of us, represents the first time in decades our coasts would be exposed to such development. While these oil and gas reserves are technically recoverable, we urge you to consider the repercussions, as you have done so in Florida, to local and regional economies and ecosystems. We are encouraged by your recent action to remove Florida’s coasts from the Proposed Leasing Program, a decision based on potential threats that offshore drilling would impose on coastal tourism, the recreational economy, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend upon it. Given that one state has been removed from the program, we strongly urge you to grant other states the same opportunity to protect their economy and coastal and marine resources. Coastal tourism, fisheries, shipping, and defense are not only critical economic drivers in Florida, but are the underpinning of all U.S. coastal states. NOAA reports that coastal communities alone provide 45 percent of our nation’s gross domestic product. Furthermore, California, Oregon, and Washington combined represent the fifth largest economy in the world, a level of prosperity that would not be achieved without their ocean-dependent industries.

    June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.
