Description
This video provides an overview of the Mobile Day Care
program in the Central Savannah River area of Georgia. Mobile day care is an
innovative approach to providing social day care in rural communities that may
not have the resources to develop their own, full-time day care center. Leaving
each morning from a central location, the program staff members travel with materials
needed for the day to a rural site. The mobile day care model allows rural communities
to have their own day care program by sharing staff and resources that move from
location to location. The video shows what an average day is like and is about
15 minutes in length.
