"On behalf of Coastal Enterprises, inc., I am pleased to offer a letter of support for your grant proposal. Our funding and partnership building on your behalf around employment, education and training continue to be of great importance to us as we strive to help build healthy communities. Little Dolphin has demonstrated its commitment to quality child care in a nurturing and state-of-the art environment. The management and staff at your Westbrook center can certainly take pride in their professional and organized efforts in contributing to a most successful first year of operation. We are proud to have been a part of that.
Little Dolphin's encouragement for continued educational growth for faculty and the fostering of interns and students of child care development, demonstrate a dedication and passion for children... for our future. Your structure for and approach to the needs of working parents and parents in transition, including accommodation for special needs children, sick children, back-up child care and a voucher program for economically disadvantaged families are so important to sustaining our communities. These important services to the community cannot be overstated. Little Dolphin's history and record at the New York school are proof of your expertise in serving children and families from diverse backgrounds, and of your belief in access to safe and affordable child care for everyone. You continue to carry on that tradition here in Maine, Steve, and are most deserving of continued support.
Through newsletters, surveys and community outreach, Little Dolphin systematically seeks and shares information, keeping a current pulse on the needs of parents and families. Your sponsorship of special events, seminars and workshops go well beyond the "child care" needs of the community as you strive to keep families together... working and playing!
It is with best wishes for a successful outcome for your proposal that I submit this letter. I look forward to an ongoing relationship, Steve, and hope that CEI can be an integral part of your mission, into the future".
