History:
The Fauntleroy Children's Center (FCC) was established in September, 1978, as the first project of the Fauntleroy Community Service Agency (FCSA), as a nonprofit corporation. The FCC has an Advisory Board composed of representative from the parents, staff and community. The Advisory Board makes recommendations regarding program and policy issues to the FCSA Board of Directors, which is composed of volunteer members of the community. The Board of Directors sets the policies of the Center. Funds to operate the Center come from tuition fees, private foundation grants and contributions.
