The beginning of what is happening in the custody of the children a task force is taking shape at Jamestown, fueled by the concerns of the Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation’s Human Resources Committee on a lack of slots childcare in the region.

Verla Jung, a specialist in childhood with Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR), and also met a group of child care workers, representatives of the economy and state legislators Friday to explain why a group of Work is needed.

“The employer was saying that we must do something for children should be taken care of in Jamestown,” she said.

Linda Lembke, director of CCRR eastern region, said the shortage is a problem across the province and the state. Nearly 2200 children aged children live in Stutsman County, where only 820 licensed child care available to the sites.

Jung said 991 children are enrolled in the slots.

“This tells us there is a part of the amount of time that children need child care,” she said.

CCRR internet working parents, and found that those children who did not appear in child care are licensed by relatives, friends and neighbours. More than a third of families respondents said they had partly with two or more children, different arrangements for the care of their children while they work. Connectors kindergarten are so limited, it is asked parents whether their care of people would have room for another child if they follow an initial examination of the baby.

In addition to a lack of machines licensed child care, found the survey, 74 percent of parents have children in their programs in the past year.

“That really bothers me,” said Jung. “Twenty-seven per cent said it is changing, because the quality of care.”

Jung said, the new service providers of childcare, because they think this is not an easy time. The highest quality suppliers of child care - those who “walk the extra mile”, in more than one place for the children - are always full, and she said Lembke struggle to retain qualified staff due to low pay. A number of child care workers stay in the centres for the care of children, especially the health benefits.

“The challenge of childcare centres are now seeking work force,” she said. “They can not pay for them, that parents are able to pay, so that payment of staff salaries are low.”

Lembke, said the legislature in 2007 for a period of CCRR funding for the development of a learning programme of the Internet for child care workers.

“It is a strategy,” she said. “We need to find a number, they prefer to professional life, they train and they hold. ”

Jung said CCRR companies in the region, though it would consider establishing daycares home, but most not more than enough workers with small children, so that it is economically feasible. Exceptions are hospitals Harvey and New Rockford, daycares created for its employees. They were able to childcare to work, because already the nursing staff, laundry, electrical contractors and employees. And Lembke said, they have been for some state support.

“It’s not one thing, but money,” says Jeannie Schmidt, the director of human resources at the Central Dakota Village.

Lembke said during a licensed childcare centres are struggling to make ends meet, even with the support of some federal - as a program support - home care and private donors are not for these people. Parents may think home is a provider of a lot of money, they are increasing, they pay by the number of children. But parents forget Lembke said that in the provider-home pay its own costs, including insurance. North Dakota, it has not taken care of, as some countries do.

“In New Hampshire, all children of their right to care for workers of the state to finance health insurance, and if they meet certain qualifications, the state pays for it,” said Lembke.

In Fargo, “she says child care workers, members of industry and the Chamber of Commerce can acquire health insurance at a lower rate in the House.

Rep. Lyle Hanson, D-Jamestown, invite companies jointly proposed a new centre of childcare.

Senator Dave Nething, R-Jamestown, CCRR is proposed on the agenda of the Workforce in North Dakota Congress to be from 9.30 am to 2 pm, April 9, Nafus Center at Jamestown College.
