Annual Report 2023-24
From the
Executive Director
We are excited to watch our new home at 312 Waller Mill Road take shape, and we look forward to the day when all our programs will be united under one roof. Most of all, we look forward to the ripple effect this new initiative will create when families in our community receive even greater support.
Together, we will continue to transform lives, one child at a time, one family at a time, for decades to come.
A New Future Takes Shape
Just a few months ago nearly 100 people gathered on the grounds of 312 Waller Mill Road to help CDR make history.
On that wonderful September day, this group of local dignitaries, CDR donors, board members, staff, and members of the community helped us break ground on what will become our new home. It was a moving experience, and one that couldn’t have happened without your support of CDR’s mission.
We faced many challenges in the past few years, but the overwhelming need to better serve the community in one central location only hardened our determination to make it happen. This center will serve as a welcoming hub of support, community services, screenings, parent education, and professional development for early childhood educators and specialists.
Until then, please know that there is never a day when CDR isn’t fully committed to serving young children and families in our community and throughout the Commonwealth. Children who need specialized therapies or life-changing early intervention in their homes so that they might reach their developmental milestones. Parents who need mentoring, instruction, or linkages to community partners so that they can provide for their children and grow their skillset as their child’s first and best teacher. And childcare providers across the state who desire to learn new techniques and strategies so that they can provide the best possible care to the families they serve.
We thank all of you for being a part of CDR.

Early Head Start, Parents as Teachers, and Infant & Parent Program
Helping Parents Through Struggles and Challenges
Nearly seven years ago, single mom Jessica Alamin welcomed her newborn daughter, Malia. “I was a new mom and worried about her development, but I wasn’t sure where to go for help,” Jessica explained. After spotting a flyer about CDR in the community, Jessica reached out. Shortly thereafter, Malia was assessed by CDR’s Infant & Parent (IPP) Program, and home visiting therapy, early intervention, and specialized therapies began.

Cultivating Excellence in Early Childhood Education
As the owner of three early childcare centers, Babbette Woodbury knows how hard it is to find assistance and mentoring in her field.
“If you do find professional support and help,” she said, “it can make all the difference to the staff and children in our care.”

CDR’s impact is possible because of the generosity of the entire community. Individuals, local corporations, civic organizations, and foundations help CDR provide the support and early intervention services needed, right here in Williamsburg, James City County, York County, and Poquoson. Each and every gift — whether it is cash, a stock transfer, recurring gift, in-kind donation, pledged gift for future payment, an estate gift/bequest, or grant from a family foundation or other source — is a commitment to improving the lives of children and families. You make a difference in the life of so many children when you partner with CDR by making a gift.
Motherhood
Help and Support When She Needed It Most
Erin Fetty and her husband, Brandon, knew they were going to have twins, but they weren’t particularly concerned. The couple were already experienced parents of two young children, and they knew what to expect when it was time to bring their babies home. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out as they’d anticipated.
Fatherhood
Reaching Family Goals with Positivity and Support
Jason Tooley-Israel admits he found it difficult being the single parent of two sons, now ages two and five. “Running my own business and being the full-time and only caretaker of my children left me feeling depleted sometimes, and unsure if I was being a good father,” Jason explained. “I knew I still had a lot to learn as a parent and provider.”
