MCC Subcommittees
Membership
on MCC's Public Policy Committee is open to anyone interested
in working in the child care advocacy arena -- parents, providers,
advocates, and community leaders. The only expectation is
that each member shares in carrying out the responsibility
of the Committee by serving on a subcommittee or assuming
other tasks as needed.

The
subcommittees of the Public Policy Committee are:
1) Compensation Subcommittee. Educates the public about
the inadequate salaries of child care providers and develops
policy options to address the problem.
2)
Early Childhood Education Subcommittee. Advocates for
developmentally appropriate early childhood programs and promotes
collaboration between programs that serve young children.
3)
Federal Legislation Subcommittee. Works with national
organizations to develop, monitor, and organize support/opposition
on federal child care legislation.
4)
Health Subcommittee. Addresses health-related issues
in child care settings, including lead poisoning, mental health,
childhood immunizations, and bloodborne disease control.
5)
Services to Children with Special Needs Subcommittee. Advocates
for policies that promote and facilitate inclusion of children
with disabilities in child care programs.
6)
State Legislation and Regulations Subcommittee. Reviews
regulations, budgetary and legislative initiatives proposed
during the General Assembly session, and recommends positions
to the Public Policy Committee.
In
addition, as special concerns arise, ad hoc work groups of
the Public Policy Committee may be formed. As an example,
a Work Group on Informal Care met for a period of several
months last year to make policy recommendations.
