In order
to help children succeed, we feel it is important to support those
individuals and agencies who have the most interest and investment in
children, and who also have the strongest impact on children, namely
child care providers and parents.
In partnership with
local agencies and organizations serving providers and
families, we have developed the following programs:
The Success By 6 Standards for Quality Child Care is designed as a
guide for early learning centers, preschools, family day programs, and
other day care sites. The goal is to help these sites create an
environment conducive to child development, with a focus on language
development and social skills. A committee of child care providers,
teachers, social service providers, and United Way staff developed the
standards. The standards are designed to guide and support local child
care providers, and are intended to enhance, not replace, state
licensure requirements.
In order to improve parents’ access to resources, we are in the
process of designing and equipping a bus to serve as a traveling
parent resource center. Parents throughout Central Virginia will have
access to these resources. We specifically hope to fill the need for
parents of children on waiting lists for local programs (i.e., pre-k
programs at local schools).
The Child Care Resource Center will provide a place for
parents to ask questions and receive written information on
socialization and language skills for children 0-6. Videos and
computer software will be available for parents and children to use.
