Extractions: COPING WITH ORGANIZATIONS: NETWORKS OF RUSSIAN SOCIAL CAPITAL Professor Richard Rose A project funded by the Leverhulme Trust, 2000-2002 The effective and efficient delivery of goods and services by impersonal, bureaucratic rule-of-law organizations is a necessary part of a modern market economy and making democracy work. But it is not sufficient. Increasingly, social scientists have emphasized the role of informal networks of social capital to complement formal organizations and or compensate for organizational failings (e.g. North, 1990: 36). The Environmentally Sustainable Development department of the World Bank has proposed adding social capital as a fourth pillar to GDP natural resources and human capital to create a multi-dimensional picture of a society's total stock of resources. This presupposes a widely accepted definition of social capital with reliable and valid measures; however this does not exist (cf SPP 358 Definitions of social capital usually share two characteristics: it is about cooperative networks of individuals, and the production of goods and services and representative institutions that help make democracy work. Putnam (1993), for example, hypothesizes that cooperation in face-to-face informal networks will spill over into the formation of community associations and enterprises and in turn "spill up" to create political parties and joint stock and mutual savings associations. However, there is fundamental disagreement about the locus of social capital. One body of research (e.g. Fukuyama, 1995; Inglehart, 1997) stresses social capital as a property of cultures (everyone has a similar predisposition to cooperate in all situations). Another treats social capital as a property of individuals (some people in a society are more cooperative or trusting than others; e.g. Putnam). Both approaches are rejected by Coleman (1990), who hypothesizes that social capital is situational (some situations encourage cooperation while others do not); for example, buying an airline ticket involves a modern impersonal network; child care can involve informal exchanges with neighbours; and fixing a traffic ticket uses connections to break laws.

Extractions: Family Child Care Crisis Program Working creatively with children and families living in caravan parks in four locations (NSW ,Queensland, Northern Territory and South Australia) using a supported playgroup model, is a key strategy of this national project funded 2001-2002 by the federal Department of Family and Community Services under the Family Crisis Child Care Program. Some families living in caravan parks are economically and socially disadvantaged, some are at real risk of homelessness. The pilot involves working with families to provide positive social and developmental opportunities for their children, extending and strengthening families' networks with other services and supporting parents in their efforts to give their children a stable and caring environment. The pilot project commenced in February/March 2001 and is being delivered by Playgroup Associations of the Northern Territory, and South Australia and by Save the Children Queensland in collaboration with Playgroup Associations of Queensland and NSW.

Extractions: Several states have taken a different approach, in order to support the family child care providers. These include mini-grants for start-up of family child care providers (KY), mentoring projects (GA) and funds to help providers meet regulatory standards (MD). Family child care providers are an important source of child care for many families. In "Who's Minding Our Preschoolers," the Census Bureau found that 18 percent of children under 5 in care were placed with family child care providers. As the General Accounting Office reported in Promoting Quality in Family Child Care The flexibility of family child care makes it an attractive choice for parents...family child care providers...usually have longer hours, may provide weekend and evening care, and may accommodate the hours of parents working shifts. They are also more likely to offer part-time care...Part-time care is useful for those in the type of job training activities in which AFDC mothers participate. Hence, family child care is a frequent choice among low-income families. Between 18 and 20 percent of children under age 5 of poor, single, working mothers are in family child care. This finding has special implications for the administrators of the Child Care and Development Block Grant. The CCDBG allows parents to choose their provider, and many working families are choosing to place their children in family child care.
Extractions: Child Development Assessment Overview for Children Living in Manitoba Routine monitoring of a child's developmental progress in conjunction with preventative primary care, also known as developmental surveillance, has been recommended by a number of professional bodies such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the British Joint Working Party on Child Health Surveillance (Dworkin PH, Pediatrics 1989; 84:1000-1010). Prompt detection of developmental problems can lead to early intervention for those conditions where definitive therapies are available. Even in conditions where specific interventions do not exist, early intervention can improve children's outcomes and assist families in accessing appropriate resources. Primary care physicians are in an excellent position to monitor children's progress and refer those children felt to be at risk of developmental problems for further comprehensive evaluation. The goal of developmental surveillance is to identify children who may have a disability or be at risk of disability so that diagnostic assessment and services can be provided in a timely fashion.

Extractions: Institute for Research on Poverty Child care has become the norm for young children in the United States. In 1995, 59 percent of children who were 5 years or younger were in nonparental care arrangements on a regular basis (Hofferth, Shauman, Henke, and West, 1998). This care typically began at early ages and lasted substantial hours: with 44 percent of infants under the age of 1 year were in nonparental care for an average of 31 hours a week. In the late preschool years, 84 percent of 4- to 5-year-olds were recorded as being in child care for an average of 28 hours per week. The use of nonparental care in the United States is expected to grow even further as welfare reform is fully implemented (Vandell, 1998). Handbook of Child Psychology .

Extractions: by Lee Dunster The Family Day Care Training Project began in the fall of 1996 with an informal discussion by a small group of individuals about caregiver training needs. By January of 1997, six provincial family day care associations, two national associations and a Canadian university had formed a partnership and received funding from Child Care Visions, Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) to undertake Phase One of the Family Day Care Training Project. Phase One, the research phase of the project was completed in March, 1998. Phase Two, the development phase commenced in April, 1998 and will conclude in March, 2000. This project represents important firsts in family child care in Canada. It is the first time that organizations representing both regulated and unregulated home child care have had the opportunity to work together at a national level. It is also the first time that work has been undertaken at a national level to identify and seek to address the training needs of family child care providers in Canada. Phase One Phase One, completed in March of 1998, served as the research phase, allowing us to:

Have an animal noise bingo game with the lists: someone can call off a noise and those with that animal on their card can check it off. Those who have all their animals called get BINGO! Talk about the many sounds people make. Laughing, wheezing, whining, sneezing, yawning, singing, grumbling, muttering, whispering... Make a list and then create a sound tape where everyone makes each noise together on the list. Guaranteed to be a noisy and fun activity!
