Infant and toddler care needed in Heppner
The Child Care Resource and
Referral program is seeking child
care providers for toddlers and
infants in the Heppner area..
According to Starla
Halverson, CCRR child care
director, the area is experiencing
a shortage in care providers for
that age group.
"Heppner has very few
family child care providers," said
Halverson. "Day care is filled up
for infants. The real need is for
children 24 months and younger.
We are recruiting people who
want to care for infants and
toddlers."
Halverson said that only
four child care providers,
including both registered and
exempt, are currently on the
CCRR data base. She says that
the lack of care givers has
sometimes made it necessary for
parents to take their children to
two different places before they
can head off to work. For
example, a care giver may be
able to accommodate an older
child, but not an infant.
Halverson said that while
Heppner needs providers for
infants, the rest o f Morrow
County needs evening and
weekend care.
CCRR provides a match
up service for parents and care
givers. When someone calls the
service, a computer matches up
parents with providers. There is
no fee for the service.
Halverson said that
providers may be registered with
the state or may be exempt from
registration. Exempt providers
may provide child care for three
children in addition to their own
children.
Providers who register
with the state may care for two
children 24 months and younger,
four children up to first grade
and four school-age children.
Providers
who
are
registered with the state and are
caring for children placed by
Adult and Family Services are
eligible for the USDA food
program. Those providers get
reimbursement for the "nutritious
meals" they serve the children
Halverson added that the
state child care provider rules are
enforced. If someone cares for
more children than allowed and a
complaint is lodged with the
state, that provider can receive a
fine of up to $100. She says that
the Child
Care
Division
investigates 100 percent of the
complaints they receive.
Halverson stresses that
Child Care Resource and
Referral is a referral agency only
and is not
involved
in
investigations or compliance.
"Our goal is not to give
people fines," said Halverson.
"The goal is really for education- assistance.
-to let people know there are
The Morrow County
rules and provide information on
Commission on Children and
how to meet the regulations.
