By far the most popular 2012 issue of ExchangeEveryDay was this one on June 13:
What would happen if child care were not available? This was the question the Local Child Care Planning Council of Humboldt (CA) County explored with their video "A Day Without ChildCare." This well-produced video presents some very serious issues about the importance of child care services in a humorous context. Often our advocacy messages are so very serious. This takes a different approach to get the message across. Check this one out and then come back to ExchangeEveryDay, scroll down, and tell us what you think.
Exchange Essentials are the perfect platform for staff development and training that deliver the essential, critical information staff and students need. 42 titles are available for immediate download.

This video is great (although it was frustrating how long it took to load). It is depressing though to see that it was made in 2012 and it feels like the crisis is getting worse not better. I have been working for worthy wages for a long time and a colleague and I were just saying today that we used to feel like Their was a chance that wages would increase but it no longer feels that way. I have a friend who says that it won't change until we actually do close!

Fantastic video. This could be so effective. I hope it gets out to the mainstream media in California.

I like that it was funny, but filled with very good points. What sticks out is that $10/hr is very little money for an ECE professional and yet that is an unaffordable expense for many families. Great video. I will definitely be sharing this with others in the child care field. Thank you for making it.

We have a thirty second version of this as well and it was used as a commercial in the movie theaters. You can search youtube to try and find it. Feel free to post and repost the video or use it to illustrate the need for child care to business leaders, government leaders or anyone else you think might listen. We made it in Humboldt County but it is applicable all over the world.
