We are pleased to bring you another edition of the Family Child Care E-bulletin, full of new information and resources.

The Canadian Child Care Federation is developing an online version of the Family Child Care Training Program – Level 1. Jeanine Plamondon and Kim Wilson are working collaboratively to have it ready for participants to register starting in fall 2006.

We are looking for photos of your family child care environment that could be added to the online training to illustrate various topic areas. If you would like to submit your photographs, fill out a permission form (available on the website) and forward the form and your photos to Jeanine Plamondon at jplamondon@cccf-fcsge.ca or fax to (613) 729-3159.

A special thank you to everyone who submitted articles to this issue of the E-bulletin!
