North
Bay Children's Center (NBCC) has been working in partnership with the
North Bay community since 1986 to provide the highest quality child
careÑat
affordable ratesÑto families across the income spectrum. In
addition to
developmentally appropriate full-day care for children from
birth through age
twelve, NBCC provides support services that nurture
and enhance family life.
These services include parent education and
support programs, daily hot meals
for our children, and scholarships for
low-income families. In fact, more than 50%
of the children served by
NBCC receive tuition assistance, enabling parents to
return to the
workforce or continue their education.
In 1996, NBCC relocated to a larger facility at Hamilton Air Force Base
in order to
serve more families and respond to the growing child care
needs of our
community. Welfare reform, city development, and the
changing needs of dual
career families have accelerated the need to
continue to expand the supply of
affordable child care in our community.
Working closely with the Novato Unified School District, NBCC initiated
a before
and after school program that serves school age children from
kindergarten
through fifth grade. Providing before and after school
care not only ensures
consistency of care and continuity of funding for
our scholarship families, but it
also promotes the educational and
social development of children and youth.
In September 2004, NBCC expanded its operations to include the new
Tinker
Way school age facility. Novato Community Partners, the
development team for
the Hamilton housing project constructed a brand
new 3,355 square foot
childcare facility designed to provide before and
after school care for an
additional 35 school-age children from Hamilton
Elementary School. The Tinker
Way facility is also home to the NBCC
Tinker Tots program.
