Abstract | Experiences of church-based child care advocates are narrated in this booklet. Introductory remarks argue that the National Council of Churches (NCC) must advocate high quality, affordable child care for all children and persuade church members to provide it. Part I tells stories about members' efforts to provide child care services to families: enrolling a disadvantaged child in a day care program, and organizing a church-sponsored after-school family day care program, a drop-in family support center for teen parents, a child abuse prevention project, and a community education program concerning peace and justice issues. Stories in Part II narrate experiences of advocates in organizing their church communities; stories focus on organizing church leaders as advocates of child care licensing for all day care centers in Louisiana, efforts to preserve the tax exempt status of Kansas' churches with child care centers, making child care more affordable to Atlanta's poor families, and using an annual reporting procedure to gather information and raise questions about church child care in every church of Northern New Jersey. Part III provides guidelines for church members interested in becoming child care advocates. Appendices list child care and advocacy organizations and members of the NCC's Child Day Care Project Committee. (RH) |
