   Elizabeth Aldred, grants and advocacy coordinator for Cape Cod Children's Place in Eastham, an early childhood education center that accepts children from 15 months to 5 years old, said finding childcare can be a financial strain on families who can't afford to have a parent not work and risk losing income and benefits.
   
   Aldred explained it's a mistake to believe childcare issues end once a child enters kindergarten, and working families still struggle to find someone to care for their children after school and vacations.
   
   "Families take a huge hit during the summers," said Aldred.
   ...
   At Cape Cod Children's Place, Aldred said the cost for a full day of care for an infant at $7 an hour is $56, but the state reimburses $42.35 or 75 percent of the actual cost.
   ...
   "People think childcare is just a babysitter," said Aldred.
   
   Instead, Aldred said childcare providers and centers can offer enrichment and support programs for both children and parents such as parenting classes, play groups and networking - important resources for parents who opt not to work and can spend more time with their children.

   Elizabeth Aldred, the grants and outreach coordinator of Cape Cod Children,s Place, said Seamen,s has been an ,absolutely committed partner from the beginning, of the discussions about making child care more accessible to its employees. The 10-year-old nonprofit family resource organization, which also is licensed to oversee state and federal assistance for child care on the Lower Cape, said it invited more than half a dozen businesses to the initial meeting. Representatives from Seamen,s Bank and Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank attended. The Lower Cape satellite day-care center is located at the Wellfleet senior center, adding another critical partner to the child-care solution , town government. The involvement of municipal property is a unique and creative approach to the problem, Aldred emphasized.
