Hi Colette:

I work in the Child Care Program Office with Erica Fox, who passed your memo on 
to me.

Sorry you have experienced difficulties in reaching your R&R.  If you look on 
the second page of your Referral Program Telephone Directory you will see all 
the numbers listed for Massachusetts.  Choose the location nearest to where you 
live (or work should you wish to have your child close to the work site), and 
substitute the 508 area code if appropriate.  In your specific situation you 
will note that Maynard is covered by Waltham/Acton and their number is 
(617)891-4023.  New directory cards are at the printers now and should be 
available within the next couple of weeks - that will take care of the area code 
problems.

Digital contracts with Work/Family Directions to provide Resource and Referral 
nationally to our employees.  Work/Family in turn contracts with local R&R's to 
provide the service.  In order to become part of the referral list, day care 
providers must be licensed/registered by the State and are required to meet 
certain regulatory codes.

Should you continue to experience problems, please get back to me as that is the 
best way for us to monitor the program.  Meanwhile, good luck, and I hope you 
find the child care person to meet your needs.

Regards,

Ann

    I was tring to find the note about lienced vs non-lienced day cares, 
    failing that, I thought the following might relate to this note:
    
    My wife wanted to be listed with the referal service Digital uses.
    We contacted them and are now in the process of working with them to
    be listed.  The service does not require a day care [in New Hampshire]
    to be lienced  if less than 3 children being cared for [only 2 less
    than 2 years old].
    The process we are going through seems more reasonable than those of
    the state.  My wife will have to have a physical.  The service will
    visit our home.  She will have to agree to certain terms and
    proceedures.  The service provides a complaint proceedure for the
    parents.

       Can anyone give me the phone number for Digital's Child Care
    Referral Service??  I am in the Hudson plant and am looking for
    a Daycare provider anywhere between here and Fitchburg.
    I have used them in the past but have misplaced their phone #.

    I have just recently used them, so the numbers are still on a Post-it
    here in front of me...
    
    	Child Care Search, Karen is the contact, 508 875-6537, it covers
    Northboro eastward, not sure how far "North county" they go.
    
    	Child Care Connection:  don't have a contact, 757-3880, covers
    Shrewsbury through the western end of Worcester County.
    
    	There may be a third one yet covering the Fitchburg area, if there
    is either agency should have information of the name, contact and
    number to call.
    
    My personal experience with them is very excellent!
    
    If you want to call me (296-4629) I can give you some of the providers
    they recommended to me only a couple weeks ago, plus a couple I have
    used in the past.

 Digital - In-home child care service available to all U.S. employees
	{Livewire, U.S. News, 24-Feb-92}
   Since last July, Digital has offered a special service to support employees 
 interested in having their child cared for at home. The "In-Home Care Service"
 is provided to all U.S. employees as part of Digital's Child Care Resource and
 Referral Program.
   "Although service usage has been heavy in the Northeast, we haven't gotten 
 many calls yet from employees in other parts of the country," says Erica Fox,
 Digital's Child Care Program manager. "Employees in all U.S. locations can get
 customized help by calling (800) 635-0606, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 9
 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
   The team of counselors staffing the In-Home Service is a knowledgable and
 experienced group. Their help extends beyond referrals to nanny agencies; they
 provide counseling on screening techniques and advice on maintaining a
 positive relationship after your provider begins working for you."
   To familiarize employees with Digital's In-Home Care Service and address 
 related questions and concerns, the Child Care Program Office is offering a 
 lunchtime workshop called "Finding and Keeping an In-Home Care Provider." The
 workshop is presented by the team of counselors staffing the In-Home Service.
 A limited number of workshops is still available, free of charge, to
 interested locations around the U.S. For more information, contact Erica Fox
 @MSO or ICS::FOX.
