• Toy Lending Libraries A toy lending
library can be used as a resource by
parents, care givers and children. Memb-
ers may borrow toys or equipment to be
used in their homes for a specified period
of time. It an operate like a regular library
ina building that is centrally located or can
be contained in a mobile van that travels to
various communities on a pre -arranged
schedule.
Mrs. Beaupre said a combination of the
child care options could be used in the rural
setting, except for a Child Care Centre
which would not be feasible to run as at
least 16 children are needed to make a
Centre worthwhile, both from a program
and an economic staR94, lint. A system of
private home care, she says, seems to be
the most popular with rural women.
She also said a registry of children and
care givers would also not be a possibility
as there tends to be "liability problems"
which have to be resolved.
A number of child care pilot projects are
now underway M similar farming com-
munities with impressive results, said Mrs.
Beaupre. Currently, a dayeare centre is
perating in Holland Centre in Grey
County in the summer during peak farming
times. Also, the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, through the Ministry of
Community and Social Services, is spon-
soring four pilot daycare projects in
farming areas of,Tanniskarraing, Dufferin,
Lambton and Northumberland Counties to
se how various systems of child care
would work. "We're looking at how that
project turns out," said Mrs. BeauPre.
° As far as the number of care givers
available in this area, Mrs. Beaupre said
the survey has indicated there are a
number 9f people interested in being a care
giver in their own home. 'The cost of
,daycare ranges from Si to $2.50 per hour
per child. However, she said there is
subsidies available through county pro-
grams to families who can't afford daycare.
