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.

United Way Kindergarten Readiness Program Is Accepting Applications

ATTENTION: Do you operate a child care ministry, center, or home within the Martindale-Brightwood or Near Eastside Neighborhoods (46218 or 46201)? Would you like to have regular visits from a child care mentor who can help you move up the Paths To Quality levels? If so, you are invited to apply for participation in a new project supported by United Way of Central Indiana. United Way’s Success By 6 initiative has committed to improving the education of the youngest residents of these two neighborhoods.

This project, called “Kindergarten Readiness,” works with schools, parents, and childcare programs in their efforts to prepare children to be ready to succeed in school in the following ways:
Supporting schools by helping them become more “ready” for children entering kindergarten,
Providing parents with tools and tips to teach their children at an early age through programs like Born Learning and Imagination Library, and
Partnering with childcare programs by providing free mentoring, training and supplies. In some cases, resources for building repairs and enhancements may be available (registered ministries only).

To be considered for this program, please contact Ginger Caylor, Mentor Specialist at Child Care Answers 317-926-3401 Ext. 306 or gingerc@childcareanswers.com to get an application or more information.

If you are not within the 46218 or 46201 zip codes but feel that you provide service to several families who live within those zip codes, please feel free to call or email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Training on Preventing Childhood Obesity


Hi Everyone,
I just received a notice from our friends at WFYI and United Way about a free training that they are doing for in home child care providers that live in the 46201 or 46208 zip code area. The training will be on Tuesday, December 16 from 9 am - 11:30 am at the John Boner Center. The topic is Preventing Childhood Obesity. They will provide Free Food, Door Prizes and Free Child Care. This free training is available to the first 25 providers who register by calling 921-1232. The Free Child Care is limited to 5 children (ages 1-5) per provider. Have a great day and try to stay warm. I hear that snow is possible tomorrow.
