Seaforth child care centre helps families meet needs Seaforth Cooperative Children' s Centre Correspondents TME MNRON EXPOSITOR, Sop Mion or 2S, 2001-11 f 1)I k') (I NIN(i St. James CWL celebrates 80 years Former presidents of the St. James Catholic Women's League gathered at a recent dinner at the. Seaforth Legion to celebrate their 80th birthday. From left in front are current president Elaine Vanden Hengel, Mary Margaret Maloney, Nora Sills, Geraldine Wilson and Marie Palin and in the back are Leona Nigh, Mary Barnes, Adrienne Hutchinson, Marg Smale, Nellie Jansen and Catherine Hak. Absent are Chris Hoste, Mary Hart, Fran Craig and Marian Van Dooren. Rural communities have a history of working together to improve their community. Although all rural communities have some things in common each area has its own needs. Needs are being met in the small town of Seaforth with a non-profit cooperative child care centre committed to quality services for children and their families. Begun by a group of parents who have joined together to provide innovative programs, the Seaforth Co- operative Children's Centre opens at 6:30 a.m. each day and provides breakfast to children who arrive before 8 a.m. Full and half-day child care programs, a nursery school program, and before and after school care are also available at the centre. Transportation is provided to children to and from elementary schools, allowing parents to work a full day when children are in school. The centre recognizes the seasonal demands on families. During peak seasons, the working hours are very long, so extended hours for child care are needed. The parent -farmer may have difficulty performing both child care and farming roles. In the summer months, provincial funding assists in the ability to hire secondary school students who go into the home for a nine -hour day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to provide flexible child care options for farm families. Families have stated that these programs provide support to families by allowing time to get work done faster, more efficiently and with less stress. In addition, families have discovered more leisure time to spend with children. Affordability, is addressed through subsidy programs for low income families. Programs have provided structure in the lives of children. Children know what to expect on a day-to- day basis. And, it is "guilt free" because parents are making decisions in thc best interest of their child by accessing programs that enhance early learning, plus children love it. Parents can sec their children growing and blossoming in the positive atmosphere of our rural child care centre. Children's' and families' lives benefit from daily interaction at the Seaforth Co -Operative Children's Centre. "Adaptability and flexibility are key to effective child care in rural communities where the conventional 9 to 5 work day is rare," says the National Coalition for Rural Child Care. "The fact that a large number of women arc in the work force has affected family life and made child carc a critical issue in rural areas, where problems are often compounded by isolation and a lack of public transportation. For some single parents, the presence or absence of child carc means thc difference between working and receiving social assistance," says Women In Rural I,ifc, The Changing Scene.

Our Alzheimer's Coffee Break was enjoyed. Alex Beasse, Education Co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society was the guest speaker for the coffee break fundraiser. The theme for our September activities was "Western Days" and staff and residents got into the spirit by donning jeans and cowboy hats for our dance featuring Marie Flynn and the Huron Strings.
