Organization Summary: Fordham Bedford Community Services (FBCS) is a community-based organization dedicated to serving the Northwest Bronx. In partnership with the community, FBCS seeks creative ways to strengthen families by providing a variety of programs and services. FBCS was founded in 1995 by the Fordham Bedford Housing Corporation (FBHC), based on the belief that quality affordable housing in conjunction with supportive social services, preserves families and strengthens the social fabric of our community. FBCS operates a variety of recreational, educational and social programs for children, literacy and career related programs for adults and support services for seniors in our community.
Summary: FBCS and the Department of Education (DOE) view family child care as a respected and valued profession within the early care and education system in New York City. We seek to support and enhance the existing strengths of family child care as birth-4 programs that promote continuous and responsive relationships, strengthen early learning skills, build resilience, and lay the foundation for all future learning. The primary role of the Administrative Assistant is to support the entire FCC Program with the daily operations through data systems, paper records, and communications with providers and families.
