Child Care Task Force Report: Ambassadors
for Children
Conclusion
To be prepared to meet the demands of the future, the child care infrastructure
in our community requires substantial strengthening, resources and support.
The Child Care Task Force asks that the community fully support the adoption,
implementation and work of the Fund for Child Care Excellence as it moves
forward with the initiatives outlined in this report, making real and positive
differences for families and their children.
In addition to the Child Care Task Force and Fund for Child Care Excellence
which stress the aspects of excellent child care, there are several
other community endeavors addressing the elements of early child development
and education that go beyond child care. These include the Thrive by
Five, Success by Six, I Am Your Child and the Healthy Family programs as well
as others. Also, a further comprehensive assessment of the Early Education
and Care Needs of Children will be published in January 2000 by the Community
Action Network. It is essential that the community make every effort to coordinate
the work of all these programs and processes to obtain the maximum benefit
for our children.
