It Takes a Team to Create a Star
South Shore Day Care Services — 2009 Annual Report It Takes a Team to Create a Star Empowering Children to Succeed Through Excellence in Education, Enrichment and Family Support Dear Friends of South Shore Day Care Services, Our last annual report, titled More than Our Name Describes, was a clear indicator that we were grappling with communicating our identity to the outside world, even though internally we were very aware of the depth and range of our programs and the impact on the needs of the community. As Board and staff contemplated a new name to accommodate our growing footprint, some common themes developed around how we communicate our core goals. We sought to convey the excellence of our educational planning and practice, our caring and well trained staff, our innovative programs, and the importance of the work we do to help families remain self-reliant and to help their children succeed. We wanted to chose a name that would be hopeful, strong, memorable, easy to say, and allowed for growth… yet we hung on to the need to describe all that we do! We chose a name and look that marries our past with our present and future. Our familiar gold star emerged with a fresh new feel grounded by our principles …excellence in education, enrichment and family support. We feel inspired, hopeful and strong as we move forward with our same purpose and resolve. Over the next year we will introduce our new name to the community. Special thanks to the strategic marketing experts at Devine & Pearson who donated their time and talent to the name change process and design of our new logo. Thank you for being part of our team, after all it takes a team to create a star!
