A fund drive aims to raise $30,000 to launch a two year pilot day care center in High Point for about 30 needy kids. The Brooks Memorial Church on Fairview Street will host the operation as the program seeks broader community support.
A two year study identifies nearly 300 children in four neighborhoods lacking adequate day care. The Fairview area shows about 165 children without proper facilities and many must endure crowded, unsanitary rooms. Plans propose a pilot center for 30 three to five year olds with sliding fees, meals, and full preschool instruction. Funding includes church donations and a total of about 2000 to date, with licensing discussed at state level.
A humorous guide advises men to volunteer for dinner to avoid chores. It suggests using cookbooks, locating kitchenware, and cooking simple meals from canned ingredients. The piece playfully notes dangers and mishaps, ending with pride in escaping work for a single day off.
The Committee For Day Care For High Point plans a pilot center and aims to become a policy making board for day care centers. They expect industries to fund and operate centers as working mothers rise, with Massachusetts already piloting industry owned centers and unions leading the effort in Baltimore for expansion.
