Kansas Association for Infant Mental Health Newsletter Volume 1, Issue No. 2 - July 1996 Early Head Start: New Programs for Babies in Kansas Since its inception in the 60's, Head Start has enjoyed bi-partisan support from the country. There have been ups and down, of course, but the idea of helping low income families succeed has tugged at the heartstrings of all but the most hard hearted as we look at pictures of children with hope in their eyes and smiles that erase tears. But problems don't wait until the child is four, so Head Start is being expanded to cover those vital first three years. Finally it is here. Early Head Start, with its cadre of enthusiastic workers, is beginning this year in eight locations in our four state region. We have done well in claiming so many of the first 68 national grants. In our state, Kansas City, Salina, and Wichita have programs. Each program develops the 4 cornerstones (child development, family development, staff development, and community development) in a unique way. Kansas City, KS (Project Eagle) and Kansas City, MO (KCMC Child Development Corporation) were chosen as two of the select comprehensive study centers. Evaluators will look at every aspect to determine what is effective in early intervention in this program. The philosophy set out in the performance standards and fine-tuned by Project Resource Centers, Zero to Three and West Ed Laboratory, captures the elements that those of us in mental health think are critical: basing the intervention on relationships, responsiveness, and strengths. Staff will focus intently on partnering with parents; respecting the development, temperament, and unique characteristics of every child; and building the community linkages that will help families find training, employment, quality child care, health care, etc.

83. Finding Child Care: Getting Started Finding the best child care for your family s needs is an important parenting Greater Minneapolis Day care Association s child care Information Network http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/familydevelopment/components/7268d.htm

WW-07268 Reviewed 1998 Finding Child Care: Getting Started Joan Sprain, Reviewed by Ron Pitzer Finding the best child care for your family's needs is an important parenting task. You need to know what your goals are, as well as what options are available in order to make the best decision. This can take a lot of time and energy. You want to be sure to investigate all the options. Even before you actually become a parent, you should begin to search out quality child care, especially since finding care for infants can be difficult. Step One: What Are Your Family's Needs? Your first step is to decide on your family's child care needs. Before contacting any caregiver, decide how many hours you need the care and the total amount you can pay for it. You should also decide on the location you need. Your child's age, personality, and any other special needs should be considered, along with your own child-rearing philosophy and goals. Step Two: What Are Your Options? Your second step is to identify the child care options that best meet your needs. These may include in-home care, family day care, center care, and short-term cooperatives and preschools. (For more information, see the fact sheet entitled "Child Care: What Are My Options." It's a good idea to visit a few different care sites with your children. This will give you a better idea of the choices available. Step Three: Begin Your Search Now you're ready to begin your search for child care. You can start looking first by telling family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and other acquaintances that you will need child care. Many parents prefer this more personal way. It can be helpful to hear other parents' experiences and recommendations. Finding part-time care (1-6 hours) for nonworking times when you just need some time away may be easier through tips from other people. You may also find legal unlicensed care (where the caregiver cares for children from only one other family) and in-home care through talking to other parents.

Links CCAN/ACC - Who We Are The number of Canadians diagnosed with cancer is climbing dramatically. Due to trends in population growth and aging, by the year 2015 new cancer cases will likely be 70% greater than today. Because about one-half of those diagnosed will die of the disease, within eight years cancer will become Canada's leading cause of death. Unless we act decisively now, this increasing cancer burden will represent an unprecedented challenge to sustaining Canada's health care system. We are the people directly affected by cancer. We are the young mothers who are told we have only a few months to live. We are the ones who pick up the hair off the pillow of a loved one. We are the parents who fight for the lives of our children, day by day, minute by minute. We are the ones who have to drive our spouses out of the country for radiation therapy.
