Extractions: The Anderson County Convention and Visitors Bureau in South Carolina has organized a "Hugs by Mail" program. Children have donated about 8,000 new teddy bears for children in New York City who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the World Trade Center Attack on 9.11.01. The program was developed as a means to provide the children of their community the opportunity to give to New York City children who have experienced a great loss. The Agenda for Children Tomorrow (ACT), through its local planners and 5 neighborhood collaboratives, identified and distributed these bears to New York City's children. Bears have been distributed to children in the foster care programs of the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), as well as nonprofit and early childhood programs and others needing hugs. This program was made possible by all of the children, adults, and organizations alike who have donated their time, money and resources to provide for the bears, their safe delivery, and placement in New York.

Extractions: the child care administrators said that most cuts were seen in the subsidy program and that waiting lists were either started or growing. A few commented on how this would have an impact on quality. For example: In the District of Columbia, all quality initiatives and training programs were reduced by 20%. Infant/Toddler Start up and expansion funding went from $1.7 million to $400,000. No new providers can reach the middle tier (Silver) in the tiered reimbursement system. Grants for materials and conferences have been eliminated. Some programs will have to cut salaries to handle the waiting list for services. In Kansas, quality initiatives were cut by $1.4 million in FY 03 and there could be more cuts this coming fiscal year. Grants to FCC providers dropped from $500K to $100K. Infant/toddler Project reduced funding means less training on I/T issues for child care providers. Professional development initiatives and apprenticeship funding was reduced and Kansas Early Head Start has been cut by $300K.

Appendix A. Appendix B. Appendix C. (all files in pdf) There is no doubt that the availability of affordable child care is a key workforce issue. With millions of parents working at the lower end of the wage scale, and with many leaving the welfare rolls, assistance in paying for child care is perhaps the most critical work-support measure in which the federal government, states and the private sector can invest. Yet, there is inadequate attention given to the huge gap between the price of child care and the ability of families to pay for it.

Extractions: In 1982, Dr. (Charles) Darby became the chair of the Department of Pediatrics. It was apparent to him, as it had been to other child care leaders, such as Dr. Biemann Otherson in pediatric surgery, that the develop of its first rate children's medical and surgical services required the creation of a children's hospital. Dr. Darby spent countless hours lobbying the university and the state of South Carolina to support this project. After a series of disappointments, these pioneers received approval to build a children's hospital. In 1984, construction was begun. As the first children's hospital in South Carolina, the Children's Hospital of MUSC became the flagship for the care of pediatric patients. Our Children's Hospital has spawned and continues to lead the movement to provide quality and innovative health care for children of South Carolina. After the Children's Hospital was completed in 1987, Dr. Darby worked tiredlessly, along with Dr. Othersen, hospital administration, and the numerous directors of the many special children's programs to provide a full-service children's hospital. As a result of their success and the hard work of every person involved in the provision of services within the Children's Hospital of MUSC, our hospital was named one of the Top 10 children's hospitals in the United States by Child Magazine in 2001.
