Week

Virtual
 
Strike
 
On
 
April
 
20,
 
2009,
 
YAAEYC
 
Public
 
Policy
 
Commit
‐
tee
 
sponsored
 
a
 
Virtual
 
Strike
 
for
 
all
 
child
 
care
 
and
 
early
 
learning
 
providers
 
in
 
York
 
County.
 
The
 
Strike
 
was
 
designed
 
to
 
communicate
 
to
 
families
 
and
 
community
 
leaders
 
about
 
the
 
importance
 
of 
 
early
 
learning
 
and
 
child
 
care
 
in
 
York
 
County.
 
Families
 
were
 
provided
 
with
 
information
 
about
 
the
 
teacher
 
wages,
 
the
 
high
 
teacher
 
turnover
 
rate
 
and
 
its
 
impact
 
on
 
young
 
children.
 
Families
 
were
 
provided
 
with
 
letters
 
for
 
their
 
employers
 
about
 
the
 
struggles
 
in
 
high
 
quality
 
child
 
care
 
and
 
early
 
learning.
 
Families
 
reported
 
a
 
new
 
awareness
 
of 
 
our
 
plight
 
with
 
funding
 
restric
‐
tions.
 
One
 
family
 
offered
 
to
 
purchase
 
groceries
 
for
 
the
 
teachers
 
after
 
learning
 
of 
 
the
 
embarrass
‐
ing
 
wages
 
early
 
education
 
teachers
 
receive.
 
The
 
event
 
was
 
a
 
huge
 
success
 
and
 
the
 
committee
 
is
 
already
 
gearing
 
up
 
for
 
next
 
year.
 
Networking
 
Night
 
YAAEYC’s
 
first
 
annual
 
Networking
 
Night
 
was
 
a
 
great
 
success!
 
On
 
Wednesday,
 
April
 
22,
 
2009,
 
about
 
35
 
child
 
care
 
professionals
 
travelled
 
to
 
three
 
host
 
centers
 
for
 
appetizers,
 
vegetable
 
Lasagna,
 
yummy
 
desserts
 
and
 
to
 
tour
 
each
 
of 
 
the
 
facilities.
 
Lots
 
of 
 
folks
 
were
 
snapping
 
pictures
 
and
 
taking
 
notes
 
about
 
ideas
 
they
 
can
 
incorporate
 
into
 
their
 
own
 
programs.
 
The
 
atmosphere
 
was
 
relaxed
 
and
 
fun
 
and
 
I
 
think
 
we
 
all
 
enjoyed
 
some
 
network
‐
ing
 
time.
