The Women's Caring Program is committed to providing financial assistance for licensed child care to low-income parents for one year. Quality childcare provides disadvantaged children a stimulating and cultivating environment--a proven strong influence on social and economic success. Through its ChildCare Commitment Program, the WCP partners with the Michigan 4C Association to provide awards to low-income families that enable access to better care. In 2007, WCP supported 82 families. Currently there are over300 families on WCP's waiting list. WCP's Childcare Commitment includes: * Encouraging parents to maintain employment and/or complete their education. * Increasing self-sufficiency of parent over time. * Providing children with a quality childcare experience that improves their development.
