Extractions: The Child Care Partnership Project Description A rash of child care facility closings in Independence County, Arkansas, led local employers to come together to develop child care solutions. The result was CHILDREN (Child Care Hub for Information, Learning, Development, Resource, Education, and Networking) of Northcentral Arkansas, a resource and referral partnership formed after extensive consultation and planning by local employers, the Batesville Chamber of Commerce, child care providers, and policy-makers. The project's goal is to meet working parents' needs for quality child care by increasing child care capacity in the area and providing information to parents about child care options. Partners CHILDREN of Northcentral Arkansas includes a number of public- and private-sector partners: Arkansas Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education History and Development In 1995, business leaders approached the Batesville Chamber of Commerce to discuss a somewhat unorthodox topic for those parties: child care. Four family child care providers and the only major child care center in the county had recently closed, leaving many of their employees without child care.
