October 28, 1990 - North Shore News - 5 NVD children’s programs criticized mayoralty candidates were told Wednesday night that programs offered at local recreation centies cater to children with moms or nannies at home while the needs of kids in other childcare are vir- tually ignored. Early Childhoed Educators of B.C. (ECEBC) claim North Shore municipalities don't realize that by implementing some rec-centre programs, they unfairly subsidize childcare for parents who may not be the most needy. During the ECEBC meeting, which was held in the Sunshine Pre-school portable located at North Vancouver’s Brooksbank Elementary School, Aldermen Joan Gadsby, Craig Clark and Murray Dykeman expressed their views about childcare to 40 members of the group. Gadsby said the municipality should define its role in childcare and noted that a district report on the subject was up for public in- put on Nov. 6. She said the entire district was By Anna Marie D’ Angelo Contributing Writer affected by the growing need for childcare, but the most obvious need for chiidcare was in the growing Seymour area. “t can identify with this prob- lem. | was a working mom and one-third of my income went to getting someone into my home,” she said. Clark warned that the district had to be realistic with what could be provided given the limited amount of land allotted for childcare in the municipality. He said he opposed a childcare village concept or ‘‘auto row’’ for children. ELECTION ~ “TE chink we should look at the feasibility of placing portables in our many parks. Children need green spaces and playgrounds and most parks are not used during the week,"” said Clark. Dykeman said the public needed to be informed that childcare is more than just babysitting.

They also said a distinction be- tween non-profit, private and profit services had to be made be- fore any more tax dollars were spent on individual childcare operations. Two Garibaldi daycares approved TWO BIDS for lease of municipally-owned land on Garibaldi Drive for daycare operations were accepted Monday night by North Vancouver District Council. By Martin Millerchip Contributing Writer Warm Fuzzies Daycare Society and Jenny Juma, who holds a Preschool Supervision Certificate from the previncial health ministry, but does not presently run her own daycare, were ac- cepted as non-profit and commer- cial lessees respectively. Council asked for a staff report on how to proceed with alloting the remaining two sites.
