Please fill out a quick response survey For my own part . . . As I came to know the work and dedication of the Childcare community, and the issues and obstacles it faced, it was impossible to ignore the importance of visionary planning for this growing coalescence of family and professional life. I've worked to assist childcare for several years at Iowa for the simple reason that the philosophy of the Childcare Centers is visionary. Childcare is still an issue of consciousness, making people aware of it not as another fiscal burden but a productive addition to any work or institutional environment. You don't have to be a parent to contribute, or wealthy to help out.
Childcare works best in a community of volunteers, friends, and supporters of all kinds.
Iowa has made this its own science. Structured activities, innovative play materials, international culture, and amazing budget wisdom have made childcare at Iowa a grassroots study in the folklore of activism. The team at the UI began over 25 years ago with a sit-in at a university house which eventually became their first center.
