Dear Friends of Child Care Council,

Addressing the issues affecting child care - such as the high cost of care for families, low wages for child care staff and early educators, and the impact of unstable arrangements on employers - won’t happen overnight. Yet, Child Care Council remains relentless in our pursuit of empowering quality child care in the Finger Lakes region.

Our work ranged from enhancing provider quality through our education and training programs, to expanding education and certifications for Council staff. We also worked to improve child care quality through a host of programs and services, such as providing free and enhanced referrals for parents, enabling employers to offer free child care referrals to their employees, and guiding entrepreneurs starting a child care business.

During 2017 and 2018, we made great strides in improving the quality of child care in the region. This annual report details the Council’s outcomes in the past two years, highlighted by department.

These accomplishments were achieved through the dedication of our staff and leadership team, the commitment of our board of directors, and the support of our funders and donors.

Thank you for your ongoing support our agency.

Sincerely,

Barbara-Ann Mattle CEO

Eric Haselbauer Board President

The Council supports providers’ success in CACFP through consistent training, multiple home visits, and a newsletter with program requirement reminders, along with useful and nutritious recipes and meal ideas

Studies show that children who attend child care programs that participate in CACFP consume more milk, vegetables, and fruits than children in non-CACFP programs

Results

Worked with 367 family, group family, and legally exempt providers who served daily meals and snacks to 7,463 children

Presented 28 nutrition trainings and conducted 2,068 home visits to ensure compliance with CACFP nutrition and record-keeping requirements

Two CACFP staff work exclusively with non-English speaking providers, serving providers who speak Spanish, Somali, and Swahili

Breast Feeding-Friendly Communities (Funded by NYS DOH; facilitated through University of Rochester Medical Center)

Worked with 18 family and group family child care providers caring for 33 infants and four child care centers serving up to 64 infants to assist them in creating a comfortable, relaxing space within their program for new mothers to breast feed their child

Each program’s breast-feeding space includes comfortable seating, printed resources on breast feeding, and an accepting atmosphere in which each breast feeding mother feels comfortable

These programs received the CACFP Breast Feeding-Friendly Child Care designation from New York state, and this designation is now included in the Council’s child care referral database to share with parents seeking child care
