Director of Human Resources Mental Health Center of Denver Sincerely, Martha Urioste, Ph.D. Education Consultant Nancy Cohen Chair, Board of Directors Dear Friends of Family Star, At Family Star, our mission is all about providing a program that allows every young child, and their parents, to realize their potential and make a great positive difference in our world. I would like to take this opportunity to share 2012 successes for Family Star’s vision to inspire a movement for educating the human potential. We presented very well-received national workshops on developing executive functions in young children. We received the 2012 Independent Voices award from Denver Open Media award for giving very young children the opportunity to find their voices. And, the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector identified Family Star as one of only four exceptional early childhood programs in the United States. This recognition only strengthens our resolve to maintain steadfast commitment to sustaining and strengthening our exceptional early childhood education program in Denver. Some of the ways we have strengthened Family Star in 2012 -- Educating Young Minds, Strengthening Families, and Transforming Community: 1 . Newly renovated facilities – we moved our Northeast Denver program into a beautiful, newly renovated facility in Curtis Park. We also renovated 8,000 square feet of unfinished space in our Northwest facility. Our students have a gymnasium! 2 . Investment in exceptional staff, leadership, and a healthy, productive culture— a. Well-trained, professional staff—Family Star has long invested in ensuring that Family Star students have skilled Montessori teachers and attractive, well-prepared learning environments and we continue to make even greater strides in that regard. b. A healthy, productive organizational culture – Family Star has invested in developing leadership throughout and leaders are working together to establish a healthy, productive culture and make Family Star a great place to work. 3 . Measuring outcomes— we have been working to institute a new system of assessment and outcomes reporting, to be able to demonstrate the difference our services make. Like any school -- or any business, for that matter-- Family Star must adapt to changes in the world. But, no matter what changes, Family Star is steadfast about sustaining our commitment to providing an exceptional early education program to children, continuously seeking ways to improve and strengthen our ability to maximize the potential of young children. We deeply appreciate all the incredible support we have received from the community in recent years, including approximately $1M in grants and donations to achieve facilities improvements in the past year. It’s about investing in our community, creating change for early childhood education on a broader scale. As we broaden support for Family Star’s mission and vision, the entire community benefits.
