In some schools, we tried to set up childcare centres, but we did not have the necessary funds. Volunteer parents and other parents began the project, but it was too complicated, because among other things, the childcare centre was closed on professional development days and on certain holidays. This did not meet the parents' needs and moreover, it was not profitable.
We had relied on the Dryden plan for early childhood. Several community organizations had done a great deal of community development, especially to ensure that children be taken care of from birth. Now, we have to start everything all over again.
