The agenda was modified to accommodate member's schedules. Tory Clark Henderson provided an update on inclusive child care along with handouts on Inclusive Child Care and the Child Care Coordinating Committee Inclusive Child Care Subcommittee. The Inclusive subcommittee believes information, community organizing, training, community capacity building, technical assistance and consultation and special needs support for child care providers are needed to increase the supply of quality, inclusive child care in Washington state.
Responses are positive.
Child Care Works does much the same thing, isn't too successful. Was very successful in terms of recognition. Perhaps a link with CC Works and Children's Alliance should be considered. Use seed packages with messages regarding funding issues as give-aways. Systems could co-sponsor the logistics and the message.
