Economic Stimulus and Child Care
December 12, 2008
I am continually learning from toddlers—not only about who they are, but about who I am. They inspire me to remain steadfast in refining myself, which in turn encourages me to refine my actions with others.

In addition, a number of organizations, led by the National Women's Law Center are starting to lobby for including child care as a critical part of the economic stimulus package that President-elect Obama is putting together. We urge ExchangeEveryDay readers in the U.S. to share your views with the new administration.

Enhanced Childcare Fee Management
Combine your family & child information with a powerful fee management system to maintain a complete history of all family charges, deposits and payments. This includes features like cash receipts; the ability to handle simple or variable rates (based on schedules, actual attendance, or both); and complete audit trails and detailed financial reports help you make the right business decisions.

I currently have three licensed child care centers. We serve approximately 140 families. It has been a huge struggle to stay afloat. Parents are loosing their jobs and it takes all spots full to maintain expenses. We are mandated to specific ratios and in order to do that cutiing staff when your short a few kids in each class is impossible. In order to keep all staff working I am extending our hours to a swing shift. My thinking was that the building expenses are already paid hoping the second shift would help. I have been advertising, hand delivering and posting start up information for the second shift and am having no luck. I was hoping to keep employees and not have to pass on the loses to the cutomers that are also struggling. Its a tough position to be in for a person with a caring heart.

Another great issue. I love all the attention the natural play environments and outdoor time is getting. Would love to tell your readers about a free resource for parents and educators:
www.greenhour.org
Each week you will find new activities, book recommendations and resources for getting kids outside. There is also a blog and an online community, as well as a podcast. You can syndicate the material on your own sites via the RSS feeds or the widgets. Please take a look and share the resource with your parent communities.
Sincerely, Bethe Almeras

Thank you for the wonderful article on the Economic Stimulus and Child Care. The article was Beautifully written, heartfelt by most all who read it. I am honored to be a part of such a great industry of people who care!
My community consists of single women who do not have many resources to afford themselves or their children an opportunity or access to information and means to move their families from poverty to empowerment. As a provider, I have not only become a confidant to their enviornment, but also I have become a filter for them to disburse information about programs and other necessities available to assist in supporting parents and their children.
Please forward to us information to provide our parents to assist them in affordable housing, grants for scholarships for summer camps and afterschool program initiatives, playground grants, etc. as well as ways we can continue to assist our community with not only affordable child care and information but a great place, aesthically to represent the many ways to improve our families and communities.
Your continued support of childcare and advocacy is so greatly appreciated.
