The Early Care & Learning Council has released its Annual Impact Report to document improvements in infant and toddler child care quality statewide. The report covers the activities of the Infant and Toddler Resource Network for the last program year – October 1,2010 – September 30,2011.
The report findings show that the Infant and Toddler Specialists are improving the quality of care in several ways. There were over 6,000 caregivers trained across the state and evaluations showed an average knowledge gain of 26%. Over 700 on-site technical assistance processes were conducted and resulted in programs improving their child care environments and the practices of caregivers with the children. The work of Infant and Toddler Specialists also increases awareness of the importance of the infancy period as a foundation for success in school and life.
Infant and Toddler Specialists are housed in the Child Care Resource and Referral agencies in seven regions across the state. Funding for this quality improvement work comes from the NYS Office of Child and Family Services.

I agree, child care is continuously improving in New York due to daycare providers such as williamsburg northside daycare. Parents can leave their child to such daycare centers and leave for work without any worry.
