COMMUNITY FEATURE Foundation awards grant for JCC Infant/Toddler Childcare Program By Ina Horwitz In a very warm and loving environment, 13 happy, contented, well cared for children, ages 2 to 18 months, are enjoying the benefits of a new infant/toddler childcare program at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Community Center. The facility, which opened Sept. 4, was assisted by a grant from thb Columbus Jewish Foundation. The funds were primarily used for renovation of the facility and purchase of necessary equipment. The idea for the program began a few years ago with the formation of a broad based ad-hoc committee, chaired by local psychologist Dr. Naomi Kayne. After completing a needs, assessment, the committee found that an infant/toddler childcare program would fulfill a much-requested need for Jewish families and would enable them to link and identify with Jewish agencies. A survey administered to current Jewish Center Preschool families revealed that: (1) 86% work out of the home; (2) 82% use childcare for children under two years; (3)67% prefer on-site care at the Jewish Community Center as opposed to JCC supervised home care; and (4) 60% would consider or definitely use the service, if made available by the JCC. From this information, the community concluded that social and economic changes have caused women to work outside their homes in increasing numbers; the need for childcare under two is sig- - nificant, and when Jewish families cannot find infant/toddler service within Jewish agencies, they are forced to obtain it elsewhere. Barbara Weinberg, director of Family Services, said the Center is very grateful to the Foundation for lending support when such a clear need was present in the community. And the families of chil dren enrolled in the state licensed program are very satisfied, said Weinberg. "I particularly like the excellent care and family atmosphere, including: the multi- generational approach of having foster grandparents volunteer,'.' said Brett Avner, whose five-month-old son, Jory, attends the facility. "The staff focuses on good communications with the parents and makes a great effort to totally understand the child's world," he added. "By getting a very good idea from the staff of how our son's day progressed, it helps my wife and me make a good transition when we bring him home." Avner's Wife, Wendy, noted that the child/caregiver ratio was 3:1. Most programs that she had reviewed were 6:1, she said. Galia Kane, who has a 10-month-old daughter in the program, also liked the warm attention and low child/caregiver ratio. "I'm very happy with the program," she said. "I feel comfortable that she's in good hands and particularly like to see that she is always being held." Lura Sussman, director of Recreation and Wellness at the Center, said it's much easier having her daughter, Leah, four months, cared for at the facility. When her child was born, Sussman initially had some concerns about treatment at day care centers because of a negative report she had seen on the television show, "20-20." "This is the best possible experience my child could have without my being there with her," she said. "It's even bet- tern than I imagined. Whenever I visit Leah, it's wonderful to see all the children so nurtured." Debbie Schwartz, education director of Tifereth Israel, has a five-month-old son, Ari, at the Center's facility. She could not agree more with the other parents that the staff is "simply outstanding." . sec CHILDCARE ;>{,-. 6
