SMILE! Its time once again for the Child Care Council’s annual Cameras and Kids contest! All Registered Providers as well as Legally Exempt Providers who are participating in the Food Program are welcome to join us in this exciting project. The contest will begin in February and conclude on August 31, 2012. The Cameras and Kids Contest offers providers and children a fun way to interact and explore the world of photography.
Children ages 3-12 are eligible for the contest. The child must take the photograph without any adult assistance. The photographs cannot be altered and must be appropriate. If you are in need of a digital camera, contact The Child Care Council and we will be happy to make arrangements to visit your program and facilitate your participation.
The contest will be accepting digital photographs only this year. Information regarding how to submit photographs digitally to the Child Care Council will be arriving shortly in eligible Providers mailboxes. Any Providers with questions regarding how to download or submit photographs to the contest are encouraged to call the Council for assistance. Registered Providers may contact Megan Personale at (585) 654-3701.

QUALITYstarsNY is a comprehensive initiative to ensure that our young children – the 1.5 million New Yorkers under age six – have the opportunity for high quality early learning experiences.

Approximately 20 programs in Rochester participated in the field test.
