Child Care Literacy Project The Soho Center received its eighth round of funds from 7-Eleven's P EOPLE W HO R EAD A CHIEVE program. We appreciate 7-Eleven's support for our children's literacy efforts. This makes a total of 66 grants over the past eight years! IT ALL STARTS WITH BEING ABLE TO READ - The Soho Center believes that the foundation for life-long learning, literacy, and on-going school success begins at a very early age - well before school starts. One way to improve the quality of child care and prepare children for school is to ensure an enjoyable, early, and repeated exposure to good children's books and related, age-appropriate activities. The importance of reading is a major part of our REACH Initiative and this belief is at the core of our N ATIONAL C HILDREN'S L ITERACY I NFORMATION project (Click for Details) Since the majority of children in child care spend the bulk of their waking hours in family day care , this is the logical place to introduce them to books and reading-related activities. That truth is at the core of our Child Care Literacy Project - presently being piloted in many counties in Virginia. (P.S. for some great

100. New Health And Safety Requirements For Relative Child Care Providers  Idaho Dept of Health and Welfare. Information for parents About DirectPayments to child care providers. Information in Spanish. The http://www2.state.id.us/dhw/ICCP/dir_payments.htm

Division of Welfare Idaho Child Care Program Information for Parents About Direct Payments to Child Care Providers Information in Spanish The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is making some changes in the Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP). Beginning in May 2002, ICCP payments will be made directly to your child care provider. This will change the way we currently make payments. You will no longer be responsible to pay for childcare using a two-party check. The last two-party payment that will be issued to both parents and providers will be made at the beginning of March for child care services for March. In the first week of April, you will receive a notice asking you to report any changes that will affect the April payment. You should report any changes as soon as you know of them. Changes can be reported up until the last working day in April. You as a parent will still be responsible to choose who you want to care for your child. You will still be responsible to report changes in your child care arrangements to your worker. Health and Safety Requirements for All ICCP Providers Also starting in April 2002, relative care providers must meet all health and safety requirements. If your child's aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, brother or sister takes care of your child and receives ICCP payments, they will need to meet this requirement. Your relative care provider will get more information on this change in the mail this month.
