QUESTION: I'm looking for a
daycare on the North Shore to
send my daughter to but 'm hav-
ing difficulty finding one that [am
comfortable with. Do you have any
suggestions?

Answer: Finding the right day-
care can be difficult. It is normal to
feel nervous about having someone
you don’t know care for your child.
You will need to be reassured that the
daycare you choose is reputable.

A rapidly expanding organization
called the North Shore Child Care
Resource Society assists people with
the complex task of finding appropri-
ate care for their children. They are a
non-profit organization funded pri-
marily by the Ministry of Women's
Equality. The staff are experienced
early childhood educators and are
working to enhance the availability
and quality of childcare options.

You can contact one of the infor-
mation and resource consultants at
985-2988 or drop by their office
located at Suite 1, 3046 Edgemont
Blvd. in North Vancouver. !’m confi-
dent this organization will be helpful.
