January 2022 Newsletter
BCDI-Atlanta wishes you and your family a Happy New Year! We look forward to improving and advancing the quality of life for Black children and families together in 2022!
Thank you to everyone who has given to BCDI-Atlanta's 40th Anniversary Club! We are very close to reaching our goal and invite you to give any multitude of $40 to help expand our programs, which support early educators and parents in implementing developmentally and culturally appropriate practices with young children ages 0-8.

Atlanta Choose Healthy Life is a national Choose Healthy Life (CHL) initiative addressing the COVID-19 pandemic across Black communities. In partnership with United Way of Greater Atlanta and Ebenezer Baptist Church, BCDI-Atlanta facilitates the implementation of Atlanta CHL with 14 local churches. 

Last month, we administered 372 COVID-19 vaccinations and 484 COVID-19 tests.

We are excited to share this month’s “Talking is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing” bundle, Let’s Talk About Healthy Habits, thanks to our partners at Too Small To Fail!

BCDI-Atlanta's next Quarterly Affiliate Meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 6:30-8:00 PM ET.

Join us for our inaugural LEAN Gathering on Wednesday, January 26 @ 12:30-2 PM!

This month's topic is Hiring & Talent Management with the goal of supporting child care programs in equitably securing and managing quality staff.

This program is made possible by generous funding from United Way of Greater Atlanta and its partners at the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation, seeking to increase the diversity of early childhood education leaders and provide ongoing leadership support for childcare program owners, center directors, and family/group childcare providers. 
Join us Saturday, December 3, 2022 for this FORMAL IN-PERSON EVENT filled with networking, entertainment and recognition celebrating programming and leadership on behalf of Black children ages 0-8 and their families.
