Michigan Child Care
Task Force
The Michigan Child Care Task Force (MCCTF), founded in 1978, advocates for
high quality child care for children who receive care away form their families.
MCCTF has
had legislative sponsorship from the beginning. MCCTF provides a monthly forum
for any interested person, particularly child care providers, state agency
personnel, legislators and their staff members, child advocates and parents.
MCCTF addresses financing, licensing, staff training and wages, care of special
needs children, child care quality, health and safety in child care settings,
and research. In 1985, MCCTF played a key role in the passage of the School
Readiness Program for four-year-olds at risk of school failure. MCCTF members communicate regularly with legislators. They closely follow child
care programs and child care licensing in the Michigan Family Independence
Agency, early education programs in the Michigan Department of Education and
child health programs in the Michigan Department of Community Health. MCCTF
often provides a venue for public hearings required by state and federal statutes.
| The Michigan Child Care Task Force has
three main objectives: |
|
|
Disseminating information to its members
and Michigan communities |
|
|
Working with legislators and governmental agencies
to develop and pass child care policies |
|
|
Promoting national standards of high quality child care |
Join
the MCCTF email list to receive regular updates and action alerts
on early childhood policy issues. Add "I
want to be on the MCCTF email list" as the subject line.
