WFYI and United Way of Central Indiana are partnering to hold an event for persons doing family friend and neighbor child care. Those people who are providing child care in a home but are not 'in the system'. We hope to locate these individuals in order to provide some support and training for them. Many of them do not feel they are professionals but we know that the time they spend with these children is very important.

US Congressman Carson's wife Miriama Shaheed Carson will be our keynote speaker for the evening. Miriama is not only an educator, she currently uses Family, Friend and Neighbor care for her child.

Please help us locate these individuals by sharing this with colleagues, families and clients that you serve. I will be happy to bring you hard copies of flyers to distribute if you respond with the number needed and your address.

We will also have resource tables that evening so please let me know if you would like a table to share information with these informal providers.

Thank you so much for your assistance with this project. We would love for you to join us on October 14 as well.
