September 8, 1992
Dear Palm Beach County communities:
Child Care Resource & Referral, Inc. was recently selected to
participate in a $10 million, seven year campaign to upgrade the
quality of child care in communities nationwide. The program,
Child Care Aware, is funded by Target Stores and the Dayton Hudson
Foundation. Phase one was kicked off July 12, 1992 and will be
waged through December.
We were the only organization in Florida chosen to carry out the
campaign. It is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in
the lives of the 60,000 pre - school age children in Palm Beach
County.
As you may know, our programs help parents locate legally
operating, quality child care, and enable them to make appropriate
decisions for the well -being of their children. We train child
care providers, help people become licensed family child care
providers in their own homes, and we have 400 children in
subsidized child care in family child care homes. Over 85
corporations contract with us to provide enhanced child care
referral services or parenting training to their employees.
We have received a proclamation from the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County which identifies the period July
1992 through December 1992 the official Child Care Aware Campaign
of Palm Beach County. We would be most grateful if we were to
receive some commensurate form of recognition for the campaign from
your office. Please help us to encourage others to come together
to agree with us that those precious first years of life are truly
the stepping -stone to individual futures, and our collective future
as a society. Additional quantities of the enclosed brochure may
be ordered; please let me know if you would like to do so.
We need you. The message about the importance of quality child
care is an important one, but one which may have paled in
comparison to issues surrounding health care and other crises. Too
many parents in Palm Beach County are poor consumers of child care.
And, far more people think that the issues of child care don't
concern them if they do not have pre - school age children. The fact
it Child Care Resource & Referral, Inc.

is that neither business nor government can operate without a
functioning child care system. And all citizens pay for deep -end
costs which are associated with poor quality, or non - existent,
child care.
Child Care Resource & Referral, Inc. is funded by Palm Beach
County, Children's Services Council of Palm Beach and St. Lucie
counties, HRS, the Florida Children's Forum, corporate contracts
and private donations. Child Care Resource & Referral, Inc. is a
non - profit organization which works to enhance the provision of
child care in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. We have
been serving families, child care providers and corporations in
Palm Beach County since 1984.
Thank you for the many ways you show that you care about the lives
of children and families in our community. I look forward to
hearing from you and hope to receive your support for our work.
Respectfully,
Deborah A. Berris
Programs Manager
