Text Box: In February, Downtown maintains its NAEYC accreditation. In April, all Grandma's House teaching staff receive state-mandated SIDS training. Grandma's House adopts a new SIDS policy in accordance with the Back to Sleep Campaign. In May, the Highland Center receives NAEYC re-accreditation. The Lake Country Center is awarded NAEYC accreditation for their quality program in September. September brings the addition of two 29-passenger school buses, for transporting children to and from area schools at our Tosa Center and Highland Center. In the fall of 2002 the Brookfield Center becomes accredited. Grandma’s House celebrates twenty years of service to families in the Greater Milwaukee Area. Due to the changing economy and lack of enrollment, the decision is made to close our Downtown Center after 13 years of operation. The Lake Country Center continues to experience rapid growth in their fourth year. As a result, they open three new classrooms and expand their licensed capacity from 68 children to 109 children. In May, Governor Jim Doyle visits our Lake Country Center to promote his “Kids First Initiative.” Grandma's House is recommended to the Governor’s office by the Department of Workforce Development as a quality center. The three year olds present the Governor with a book they made during Literacy Week and the four year old class performs ‘Circle of Life”, a show they prepared for the Center’s Multicultural Fest. In August, the Highland Center receives NAEYC accreditation. Donna Ryan decides to “retire” and her daughter Colleen Pomeroy takes over as owner of Grandma's House. Colleen served as the Director of Operations for twelve years. All four centers maintain NAEYC accreditation and will pursue re-accreditation under the new NAEYC system.
