Here are a few ideas for ways you can use your child care project work to help the community.

• have babysitting clinics to teach younger kids how to be good babysitters
• assist the teachers at the day care
• have a play day with children at a local shelter
• sponsor fun activities for children in public housing or at Head Start
• sponsor a one-day, free Mother's Day Out program
• tutor children as they are learning to read
• hold a book drive to collect books for a day care, Head Start, or the local library
• make back-to-school kits for underprivileged kids
• collect teddy bears for police officers to use with young victims of crime or abuse
• collect money for UNICEF
• baby-sit children at the homeless shelter while their parents go to classes or job interviews

How do you plan to use service learning and the child care project?
