How many kids are in daycares
In-house numbers were decreasing as more families were having both parents work.
Number of kids in daycare was increasing, especially for the summer.
How many kids can we affect? If we have two more traveling storytellers in the summer our summer outreach numbers will increase from 1000 to 6000 over the six week period. We would be able to program at most childcare centers in the county.
Keep stats, the Friends are excited to see and hear your stories:
Mother goose, kids started chiming in, 4 yr old got upset because he didn’t know it, workers said, we need to put books out
We asked for two extra storytellers and got them for the summer.
