A circle encompasses the cross and prnfihs and “Waterloo Region Cathol- ic board" is printed beside the symbol. The images are symbolic of a child’s journey to adulthood surrounded by quality education and faith, explained Sehl.

Last week the board decided it the past 20 years. That the change occurs with the board’s 20th anniversary is coinciden- tal, said Ann Marie Sch], who, as the board's public affairs coordinator, began exploring the idea of a new logo a year ago alter the board began ofrerittg a kindergarten to Grade 13 {would change the logo it has used for Redesigned logo reflects new Catholic system Wendy Angel, a St. Mary's graduate Inca] , now working as a graphic artist for Stanton Consulting of Kitchener, Ile. signed the symbol which should be in wide use by mid-April, and in time for education month said Sehl. Angel is signs from three local artists, before weeding their selection down to two. Since the board's announcement, Sehl said she's received calls from two schooll interested in using the logo. Sehl said the board will use up existing stock before moving into the new material.

They had looked first to the universities, since some of the parents worked there or went to school. They weren’t interested in getting involved. The parents turned to the churches. but God bless them) every church in Waterloo already had day care facilities, in operation. No usable space could be found through either school board, either. In the end, two parents decided to mortgage their house to pay for the downpayment on a house at 368 Erb St. W. Of course, converting a house to meet the reasonable, but rigid, requirements of the provincial government costs a lot of money. In the end, with time running out to fmalize a deal with the owners of the house and with the province, Jane Mitchell could see no alternative but to approach her mother. A total of 36 children ranging in age from four months to five years use the centre. For toddlers, one stair member is required for every three children. That’s quality care, and Mitchell invites those who don't think children in daycare get proper stimula- tion to drop by and see for themselves For this the parents pay up to $550 monthly. The province tops the sum up to help pay wages. That the need for infant toddler daycare in Waterloo existed is not debatable - since the cean rmally opened (with provincial support) in April 1987, there has been a waiting lim as long as 200 That society needs more daycare is beaming increasingly obvious. Politicians can implement all the human rights legislation and pay equity laws they want. Unless women have the means of pursuing a career while their children receive quality care, the legislation doesn't amount to anything. The toddler daycare was a new idea for this area Since it was established, it has been copied And copied again. But while that may seem like a good place to end a story on Jane Mitchell and the other mothers the saga doun’t end there.
