a socialist there is no profit motive in any army Enterprise that we this is not the system that we swore to Ansbach has the Best Large commissary in the vegetable Section is a Dis you can hardly Chew some of the they occasionally mix out Date items with regularly priced items to sell them because they cant return them to the warehouse and nobody wants to buy the employees Here work hard and they our commissary is one of the Best in it would go broke in six months As a private the solution go Divide Usa eur into sectors and put the commissaries and exchanges up for bid for five or ten year

putting controls on our Chil Dren and our the program gives nothing in return to the children and especially nothing to the care what can we do to give control of the children Back to the parents and protect our privacy Miller Germany editors note Penny family child care office of the Deputy chief of re plies your letter provides an Opportunity to explain some of the basics of the family child care acc program which is part of army child development services you need to first be aware of the fact that provision of child care As a business in government quarters places responsibility on the government to Monitor use of ones quarters for this purpose is not a but a privilege extended when prescribed requirements Are the family child care program evolved to oversee these even though family child care was established to control care provided children in government its Pri Mary focus is on helping the care training is one of Many ways the program supports care givers and provides a More professional too often care givers Are viewed As Mere deserving no recognition of their abilities and often receiving inadequate pay for the important work they to be a care giver in cd is to be More than just a this Means that care givers must have a firm understand ing of developmental care and be Able to implement it in the proper training ensures that care givers Are prepared for that they Are Given help in preparing daily activity plans so they can provide a balance of age appropriate activities for each not Only do care givers gain valuable insight into child they Are offered classes that add to their personal and professional classes that have been particularly helpful to care givers personally Are stress management and assertiveness Quality training is offered by a network of highly skilled and As a result incidents of child abuse and neglect remain very Low where training is care givers Are taught what is developmentally appropriate for children and consequently have More
