Under this contract, COGIC Developmental Day Care Center delivers child care and early education to children of eligible low-income families residing in Hillsborough County. The term of the contract is July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008. On January 18, 2008, the Early Childhood School Readiness Programs received notification from COGIC Developmental Day Care Center advising that the facility changed its name to College Hill COGIC Preschool and its location to 1002 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Tampa.
