Congratulations goes out to Little Duckling Day Care III for being the second Registered Ministry in Central Indiana to meet the state Voluntary Certification Program and sign onto Paths to QUALITY. Little Duckling has been participating in a mentoring program for Registered Ministries to help them improve their environment and quality of care made possible by the United Way of Central Indiana.

Child Care Answers is so proud of all of Little Duckling's efforts!

WAY TO GO!!

In January the United Way of Central Indiana and Child Care Answers will begin working with many more Registered Ministries in a six county region. Look for more information to come about how your Registered Ministry can participate.

Child Care Mentors Available

Hi All,
I was just speaking with Marisa, one of Child Care Answers Mentors, who stopped into my office. She had just been out to a child care providers home helping with setting up learning centers. She was sharing how excited she is to be helping child care sites improve their services to children and families. Did you know that all licensed child care sites (home and centers) and some unlicensed registered child care ministries qualify to participate in our FREE mentoring program. If you operate one of these sites and would like to find out about participating in our mentoring program you can attend a FREE Paths to QUALITY informational training. Contact Lynn, our Office Manager, to register 317-636-5727 x 238.
