SFEI is a non-profit company organized in 1990 by a small group of
employees of the Johnson Space Center to be the corporate management of the JSC
child care center. The existence of the child care center today stands as
a monument to the dedication of these employees during the start-up period and
the JSC managers who supported them. In particular, the center would not
exist without the support of Aaron Cohen, then JSC Center Director, whose
guidance and resources made the center a reality. A plaque dedicating the
facility to Mr. Cohen is permanently mounted at the entrance.
Membership represents a share of
ownership of the company and the member is entitled to establish a place on the
waiting list or enroll a child in the facility, vote at SFEI elections,
participate in SFEI surveys, participate in Board of Director meetings, become
an SFEI committee member or chairperson, or run for a Board of Director
position.
