Extractions: Older Americans Act Aging Services Network The National Policy and Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging (Center) works closely with agencies and organizations that administer or provide nutrition services and/or funds to serve older adults. This section provides a brief description of the agencies and programs that provide assistance. The Older Americans Act (OAA) established the AoA under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. AoA is the federal focal point and advocacy agency for older persons, as mandated by the OAA, and administers most OAA programs at the federal level. These programs provide assistance to older persons and their caregivers, as well as critical support services, such as nutrition and transportation, for older persons at risk of being prematurely or unnecessarily institutionalized. AoA Document Index Older Americans Nutrition Program (OANP) The OANP provides grants to support nutrition services to older people throughout the country. The OANP, authorized under Title III, Grants for State and Community Programs on Aging, and Title VI, Grants for Native Americans, under the Older Americans Act, is intended to improve the dietary intakes of participants and to offer participants opportunities to form new friendships and to create informal support networks. Through Title III, grants are provided to the aging network which is made up of the 57 State Units on Aging (SUA's) and their 655 Area Agencies on Aging (AAA's) and through Title VI, to 221 Tribal Organizations, representing American Indian, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians, to promote the delivery of nutrition services in local communities.

http://www.joe.org/joe/1995february/a3.html

Extractions: Blacksburg, Virginia Method Thirty-six family child care providers from northern Virginia were recruited by Extension Home Economists to participate in a child care provider training program. Demographic information about the providers' educational levels, number of years experience as a family child care provider, total years of formal education, extent of child care training, licensure status, and membership in professional associations was collected. Special efforts were made to locate family child care providers who were also members of professional or support organizations. Professional affiliation was defined as membership in a local affiliate of a nationally recognized child care and development organization or as membership in a locally organized family child care association that was part of a state organizational structure. Family child care providers were paired with University Extension educators, each working with two to four providers. The Extension educator and the provider agreed to a training schedule and method of learning. Then over a three-month period, training was conducted. Some providers were involved exclusively in self-study readings with optional access to videotapes and audiotapes. Other providers received home visits benefitting from conversations with the trainer, resource materials that were delivered and discussed, and subtle demonstrations of appropriate adult-child interactions by the trainer with the children in care.

MASSCAP - Massachusetts Association For Community Action
The Massachusetts Community Action child care Network Quality, Accessibility, by the National Association for the Education of Young children (NAEYC).
http://www.masscap.org/childcafs.html

Extractions: document.write(randomQuote); It is part of the mission of Community Action Agencies (CAAs) in Massachusetts to provide opportunities for low-income families to become self sufficient. In order for low-income families to work or to participate in education and training programs, they must have access to quality and affordable child care. Recognizing the importance of child care, Community Action Agencies have become major providers of child care and early education programs throughout the Commonwealth. A recent survey conducted by the Massachusetts Community Action Program Association (MASSCAP), which represents the 25 CAAs in Massachusetts, concludes that CAAs administer over $142 million in child care funding. This includes: Accessibility And Flexibility Are Attributes Of The CAA Child Care Network Affordability Is a Must Child care is always discussed as a major barrier to employment for all families. This barrier increases with low income families because of the high cost of child care. Community Action Agencies provide comprehensive affordable subsidized child care to the most vulnerable families in the state. The lack of such care is often the cause for families to slide back onto the welfare rolls while the working poor struggle to make ends meet. Unsubsidized quality care averages $5,000 to $8,000 per year per child, an amount equal to 40% - 50% of the income of a family just above the poverty line.
