February 1995 Volume 33 Number 1 Membership in a Professional Association Influence the Quality of Family Child Care? Karen DeBord, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Human Development and Family Studies University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri Internet address: debordk@ext.missouri.edu Janet Sawyers, Ph.D. Professor Department of Family and Child Development Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University 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.

document.write(randomQuote); The Massachusetts Community Action Child Care Network: Quality, Accessibility, and Affordability 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: Over $50 million in Head Start programming Over $52 million in Child Care Resource and Referral and voucher networks And nearly $40 million in other programming including center based day care, family day care networks, school-aged programs and Community Partnerships for Children contracts. 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.
