Scope and Content Note
This series illustrates the daily operation of a local war council's child care committee and its efforts to provide care
for the children of working mothers. It documents the problems and successes of promoting the idea of child care and maintaining
high quality facilities.
This series details attendance, budgetary matters, salaries, monthly reports, food cost analysis, and interaction with parents
at several child care facilities in Schenectady. The weekly attendance records list the school, head teacher, students (alphabetically)
and the days attended, and daily totals (dividing students into four categories: full time, lunches only, after school, and
Saturday and holiday). Additionally, correspondence and memoranda within this series reveal reasons why parents withdrew their
children from day care and the facilities' efforts to operate as cooperative day care centers after government funding ceased.
