On June 1, I volunteered at the Child Care Resource and Referral office which is located in Khlem at EIU. During my two hours in the office, I tallied surveys from several different counties in Illinois that were sent back from child care providers. The surveys were sent out by Child Care Resources and Referral to surrounding counties to receive feedback about their training. This experience related to both FCS 4840 and other FCS courses. It relates to the Disadvantaged Family course because it allowed for professionals that provide child care to provide information on a survey about what kind of training sessions they would be interested in. I didn’t work directly with any of the professionals, but I did sit in the office with them and got an inside look at what their days consist of. I gained knowledge about how the Child Care Resource and Referral office operates and what they do around the community. By tallying the surveys, I got to see all of the different places that provide day care and how the surveys help to know about each one’s training sessions. This organization has a huge effect on the community. They offer resources to families for child care. They also help families find the right child care to suit their children’s needs as well as their own. I really enjoyed helping out at the Child Care Resource and Referral office! Even though I wasn’t working directly with referring families to resources and child care, I still helped to get things done. This allowed the professionals working there to help the families in need. The ladies working in the office were constantly busy with phone calls to potential day care providers, which allowed me to see just how important they are to the community and how dedicated they are to helping!
