		<description>Dear Ms. Chung,
I heard about this wonderful new initiative from Mary Mulcahy at the Cafritz Foundation and would like to inquire about the possibility of Inner City-Inner Child applying for funding. ICIC is an innovative program wth a 14 year history of working with the District&#039;s low income children and their families.Our programs are concentrated in DC&#039;s early child care centers where we create environments that foster the children&#039;s development and school readiness.  We train teachers and have helped 32 inner-city centers attain NAEYC accreditation. Our newest program, Read With Me, shows parents the way to become invloved wth their children&#039;s early learning and literacy.    

I look forward to hearing more about the Early Care and Education Collaborative as well as when the RFP will be released.
Many thanks,
Connie Zimmer
Executive Director, Inner City-Inner Child</description>
