2011 Annual Report LongLong BeachBeach DayDay NurseryNursery 2010-112010-11 AnnualAnnual ReportReport Counting Down to 100 Years – 1912 to 2012 The Soul of a Child The soul of a child is the loveliest flower That grows in the garden of life. Its climb is from weakness to knowledge and power To the sky from the day of its birth. To beauty and sweetness it grows under care, Neglected, ‘tis ragged and wild. ‘Tis a plant that is tender but wondrously rare, The sweet wistful soul of a child. Be tender, O gardener, and give it its share Of moisture, of warmth and of light. And let it not lack for the painstaking care To protect it from frost and from blight. A glad day will come when its bloom shall unfold, It will seem that an angel has smiled, Reflecting a beauty and sweetness untold In the sensitive soul of a child. Jordan Morales Our Mission: To provide quality early care and education for young children of working parents. Long Beach Day Nursery Annual Report 2010-2011 ear Friends, 1912 was quite a momentous year. It was a year of varied and interesting world events. Here in the US, Fenway Park opened; a gift of D 3,000 cherry trees from Japan was planted in Washington, DC; both Lifesavers candy and Oreos made their debut; and the Girl Scouts were founded. In other parts of the world, the Olympic Games played out in Stockholm; Lenin and the Bolshevik Party broke away from the rest of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party; the African National Congress was founded; and the Qing Dynasty came to an end in China with the formation of the Republic of China. Closer to home here in Long Beach, 1912 was significant because a group of civic-minded, visionary women led by Florence Bixby saw the need for quality child care for working parents, particularly working mothers. This was very radical thinking – few women worked outside the home in 1912. One hundred years later, Long Beach Day Nursery’s mission to provide quality care and education for young children of working parents remains as relevant now as it was then. From our humble beginnings with an opening day enrollment of three children to our current two locations serving more than 300 children each year, LBDN remains dedicated to its belief that a good start in the formative years of childhood provides children with a lasting foundation for success throughout their lives. We have much to be thankful for in this year of celebration. Our2011-2012 Stepping Stones to Success Scholarship Program has raised close to $100,000 this year in a campaign led by Mayor Bob Foster and his wife Nancy. Forty-eight percent of our teaching staff completed our profes- sional development program (see page 15). In an industry marked by high turnover, LBDN has 12 staff members who have completed more than 10 years of service, with five completing more than 20 [see page 15]! Our East Branch maintained its national accreditation status, joining our West Branch in meeting the revised, more stringent criteria (more than 400 standards!) required to be nationally accredited. This year has not been without its challenges. Every year as we go to print on our Annual Report, we find ourselves at the mercy of the state and its ongoing budget crisis. Once again, we are faced with deep cuts to funding for education, including early childhood education. Despite the growing body of research that demonstrates that the most critical time in a child’s brain development is during the first three years of life, along with the significant return on investment that quality early childhood education pays in terms of our society’s future economic development, the cuts continue – with early childhood education having suffered cumulative cuts of 40% over the past five years. Thousands of children will no longer be able to access the high quality school readiness curricula, programs for social and emotional development, and resources for family development and support the Department of Education’s early childhood education system has successfully built and delivered for decades. It’s a classic case of “pay now or pay later.” The good news is we successfully closed the books this past fiscal year in a strong position despite the decrease in public funding. We find ourselves in good financial health due to the generosity of many special 100th Anniversary Investors who stepped up to the challenge and raised the fund-raising bar this year, as well as to the senior staff’s keen eye to sustainability and the bottom line. Stronger fund raising, prudent expense control, and very conservative fiscal management are leading us to project a balanced budget for the year ending June 30, 2012 as well as the following fiscal year. While the challenges are not going away, we remain confident that LBDN will continue to weather these tough economic times. Throughout our 100 years of service, we have always been supported by loyal friends like you who have shared our vision of better lives for the children of Greater Long Beach. Thank you for your support.

A typical day at LBDN is a balance of opportunities for language, math and science discovery as well as L both structured and unstructured playtime. The day is a blend of child-initiated and teacher-initiated activities including group time, free choice times, outdoor play, nutritious meals and snacks and rest times. We know from research that this is how children learn best and develop an early, deep and long-lasting love of learning. We also promote physical, social and emotional development to pre- pare children for all of life’s lessons, not just the academic ones. We also believe that parents play an important role in a child’s success and therefore we offer many opportunities for parents to learn about child development and quality early childhood education. For our teachers, we offer a formal incentive program for their professional growth and development. Through classes and workshops, our teachers remain abreast of current trends in early care and education. Teachers are also provided opportunities to attend industry conferences. Scholarships and other financial aid are available as well as two annual in-service staff development days and one planning day. Early Literacy “Ready to Read” Math/Scientific Curriculum Initiated in 1999, the "Ready to Read" program focuses on class- Math is integrated informally throughout the day and incorporat- room literacy and language development activities.

  • Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
    Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg­ est source of smog­causing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J.

  • Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME to DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH
    DTLB Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME TO DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH In 2020 the Downtown Long Beach Alliance broke with tradition, deciding to postpone and ultimately cancel its Annual Economic Profile, resolving instead to include data and research about the unique events of 2020 and their impacts on the Downtown economy as context for the forward-looking 2021 Economic Profile. Though still ongoing, the initial impacts and potential lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are much clearer today than they were this time last year, when the virus was still little understood. Downtown Long Beach experienced immense growth and investment in the years following the Great Recession. What had been a steady influx of new businesses ramped up in 2019, with a plethora of new dining, drinking, and entertainment options throughout the district. The blossoming of ground- floor retail was reflected in investments by office-based businesses, such as the rapidly growing online cycling firm Zwift, and a slew of residential developers whose projects have helped build out vacant redevelopment lots and convert office buildings with dwindling tenancies into mid-income and luxury housing. As you will see in this report, the pandemic put a pin in this trajectory—but it did not reverse it. Some businesses permanently closed as a result of the pandemic and ensuing government-mandated health orders, and many people lost employment—significant losses that will be felt for some time. However, many businesses clung on with the assistance of federal and local aid. Office, retail, and residential occupancy rates remain largely unchanged compared to the period before COVID-19 disrupted the economy.

  • TRANSPORTATION and DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS in the INLAND EMPIRE: the Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal
    TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Pat Mc Inturff California State University, San Bernardino Management Department Jose L. Garcia California State University, San Bernardino Director, Inland Commerce and Security Institute Tania Paimar California State University, San Bernardino Research Associate June 25, 2009 1 TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Introduction Over the last decades the Inland Empire has emerged as a global distribution center with over 700 million square feet of distribution and warehouses under roof. Along with this phenomenal growth, the transp01iation infrastructure of the region has become over burdened and highly congested. Adding to the growth and an infrastructure stretched thin is the ongoing aiJival of super container ships at the po1is of Long Beach and Los Angeles. One proposal to lessen the pressure on the Southern California po1is has been the expansion ai1d redevelopment of P01i Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Once a favored port of cruise ships, the p01i has embarked on moving from principally a passenger destination to becoming a global port facility. The overall focus of this study is to analyze the impact of Po1i Ensenada upon the Inland Empire by addressing identifiable consequences upon the transp01iation infrastructure including highway, rail, and shipping utilization and flow of goods in relation to existing and expected wai·ehouses and distribution centers. Phase one of this study will consist primai·ily of the collection of archival research, public writings and the understanding of the Port of Ensenada project proposals along with its cmTent developmental status.
