Child Care That Works

http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Pages/planofwork/plan320.html

Extractions: The need for accessible, affordable, quality, child care in Iowa has become a critical economic development issue. Iowa ranks second in the nation with the percentage of women who are in the workforce with children under the age of 6. An estimated 70 percent of Iowa mothers with children younger than six, and 82 percent of women with children between the ages of six and 17, are in the labor force. Rural communities seeking to attract industry find that child care is a key issue for potential employers. Funding and community resources for the development of rural child care is greatly limited. In many communities there are acute shortages of school-age child care. In Iowa, only about one in ten public schools offer before and after school care programs. Evening or weekend care is lacking as well. In Iowa fewer than one out of six providers offer care after 6 p.m. or overnight. Infant and toddler care is extremely costly and in short supply. Child care for a 12 month-old in a child care center in Iowa in 1997 averages $5211, but could cost as much as $7280. The shortage of available care is compounded by the lack of suitable buildings for child care centers in many communities. Deteriorating and unsafe playgrounds are also a serious concern. State training requirements have increased 400% in the last two years, yet training is not readily available in most areas of the state. The situation is accentuated by the high 40-60% turnover rate of providers. Turnover is linked to lack of training and low wages. In 1996, the average annual wage of child care workers in Iowa was only $11,620.

Extractions: Child Check is a free screening of your child's vision, hearing, pre-academic skills, speech, language, fine and gross motor skills. Child Check observes children that may have behavioral, social, or emotional concerns which could have an impact on their ability to learn from others. The screening takes about 45 minutes. Child Check is FREE to children ages 3 and 4, who live in the seven-county Grant Wood AEA service area. This includes: Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington counties. If your child will be attending kindergarten in 2002 and has not been through Child Check, he or she may make an appointment for screening. Community Empowerment In 1998, the Iowa Legislature established a Community Empowerment process, pooling and allocating funds to partnerships within geographical areas which focused on the well-being of families with young children and the removal of barriers to receiving education, health and human services. School board members, administrators, teachers and families are invited to be part of the process. GWAEA staff have been an integral part of Community Empowerment efforts in each county, can explain the legislation and its impact on schools, and can assist in getting involved with local efforts.

"Research shows the benefits of parent involvement in kids' education," principal Jerry Eichholz told Education World. "I believe it's very important to help parents understand what it is they can do to help the student succeed. I try to show parents how to be actively involved." Eichholz is the principal of Highland Elementary School in the Riverview Gardens School District of St. Louis County, Missouri
