Seeking examples of innovative approaches in Early Care and
From: LStoney95@aol.com
We are conducting research for the Smart Start Technical Assistance Center and the Cornell University Linking Child Care and Economic Development project on new ways to structure early care and education businesses. We are hoping that you can help us identify promising practices. Specifically, we are looking for examples where a single agency handles the management and administration on behalf of a group of child care centers and/or homes. This organization could be non-profit or for-profit, could be jointly owned by the participating centers (like a coop), or could be a single entity with whom all providers contract. The management agency could handle responsibilities such as: billing and fee collection; fund raising; CCAFP paperwork; enrollment; purchasing; payroll; staff development; or it could hire shared staff such as substitutes, visiting nurses or mental health professionals; etc. We are seeking examples where an entity or "umbrella organization" takes significant responsibility for administrative/fiscal management tasks so that early childhood programs can concentrate on caring for children. Any ideas for potential models in fields outside early care and education are welcome as well. We know that that large and small businesses have developed new kinds of information, management, and marketing partnerships-strategic alliances that help small businesses look, act, and feel big--but we just don't know very much about them. Please help us learn. We know that all of you are busy so we want to make this easy. Just email us what information/ideas you have and we'll take it from there. We will contact the agency and conduct an interview to gather the information. All we need, at this point, are leads. Please send information and/or ideas to Louise at lstoney95@aol.com. If you'd like more background information, see the issue brief on "New Ways to Organize Early Care and Education" from the Smart Start Technical Assistance Center at http://smartnet.smartstart-nc.org/na.../financing.htm or www.earlychildhoodfinance.org. Please feel free to forward this query to others whom you think might have information or ideas. Thanks for your help.
