gratefully too.
But times change - families
change. There may indeed be
a reason to conduct another •
survey ,now to see if things
are different.
Councillor Jim Peters,
expressed the !viewpoint. at
last week's council meeting
that parents who must work
Should have., .a dependable"
spot .at which...to leave their
0uug-children-vichil e -the -y -are
Sr,
'away. Councillor, Peters.' is
dead right. Often, .especially
in these difficult bines, it is
financially necessaryfor
mom and dad bothto be.:away
at a job. There is nothing
worse than. having ,,to go to
work: and not having a good
'place at which the children
may stay.
Day care centres do have
their place in modern society:,
But whether. Goderich needs,
one is quite another matter.
And council is' wise to • step
lightly in this direction until it
is clear thatthe demand for
such a. service is definitely
there.
Not long ago, the' provincial •
government was really
;'gung-ho" for day care
centres --large, expensive
buildings with plenty of room
for lots of children.
Now, . probably due to
budget restrictions more than
anything else, the trend
seems to be toward smaller
centres - up td five. children
cared for in a private home
by an approved worker. This,
the government says now, is
better for the children.
That kind of a system would,
probably be widely. accepted '
in Goderich, because this is
the type of day care that
working parents and their
Children have been used—to
iFerw. In - oderich, when
=grandma -or -an aunt ora -goecl
neighbor can't be recruited
for babysitting, then pa>;ents
take their children to a sitter,
usually .recommended to
them by friends, Often these
sitters make a little business
out of caring for children and
in a good many cases, it
works well..
It seems these kindsof'day
care,,,•centres' are now ap-
proved by ,government and if
some kind of financial
'assistance for needyarents
could, be wos.ked .out''through'
whatever means, thep.ackae
would seem About complete.
And there's' on'e ,other
-thought on the horizon; Since
it is industry and commerce
,which. b.enefits- rnost directly
from having parents at work,
it seems only fitting that
in " r
dusty and commerce .be'
tapped -for some of the.money
;to subsidize those'workers in
their employ who -have
families which must be cared
for, during the working day.
,I•iow this shouldbe done -•and
to what extent - isa matter
for debate of course. But it is
worth looking at.
In the meantime, it is to be
hoped that"kloderich Town
Council now and in the years
to come, will not dismiss day
care centres as merely
subsidized ' babysitting for
parents who are shirking
their duties. That's an old
fashioned premise which died
when it became essential for
a,family to have at least two
pay cheques just to pay the
rent, finance the medical
