Day Care Centers Enter Into Collaboration Agreement

Paul, Weiss pro bono client Myrtle P. Jarmon Early Childhood Educational Center, Inc., a nonprofit day care center, entered into a four-year collaboration agreement with Clifford Glover Day Care Center, Inc. The execution of this agreement was the culmination of a year-long effort between the day care centers, both located in Jamaica, Queens, to provide services in connection with the EarlyLearn Contract awarded to Clifford Glover by the New York City Administration for Children's Services. The EarlyLearn Contract contemplated that Myrtle P. Jarmon and Clifford Glover would share certain resources, including employees, allowing both day care centers to service a greater number of children and families and achieve administrative cost-savings and efficiencies. Under this collaboration, Myrtle P. Jarmon will retain its separate legal existence and nonprofit status, one of its primary objectives since its founding in 1945, as well as the right to appoint directors to the board of Clifford Glover.

The Paul, Weiss team included corporate partner Marilyn Sobel, counsel Christopher Poggi and associate Ikhlas Rashid.
