With another type of and with the aid of a guide, laine ing n 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.
