A sub-committee of the
Multi-purpose Center Advisory
Board is considering the
establishment of a Day Care
Center in downtown Shelton for
the children of mothers who are
working full or part-time, for
families who are facing emergency
needs for child care, and perhaps
as a convenience to those who
need this service on an hourly
basis.
Day Care is a program to offer
children a home-away-from-home
when circumstances call for the
mother's absence. There is always
qualified supervision. It can be
patterned here in Shelton on the
established centers that have been
successfully run in Bremerton,
Olympia and Tacoma.
A full-time Director who is
trained in the needs and
development of young children
will provide a program of care for
the entire day. This starts with a
breakfast snack and includes
playtime, crafts, music, storytime,
games (which are conducted
outdoors when possible), lunch,
$1
naptime and a daily health check.
The hours would possibly run
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. depending
on the community needs.
Good day care is costly and
must be subsidized by outside
sources. Financial help may be
offered by the national office
of Economic_ Opportunity "pro;
grams for mothers of low-income
families and by those who are
involved in on-the-job or other
training programs.
Community-wide support from
churches, clubs and service
organizations will be necessary.
Participation can be in the form
of volunteer work at the Center
and donations of equipment such
as toys, furniture, books, records,
etc.
The community would like to
survey the Shelton area to know
what response there might be to
this idea. If you are at all
interested in this project, will you
fill in the following form. This is
only an indication of your
interest; there is absolutely no
obligation.
If low-cost Day Care for pre-school children were
available in downtown Shelton, I would possibly use it
