One Minute

By Director

It will only take one minute to run into the store and grab a gallon of milk.

It will only take one minute to grab some stamps at the post office.

It will only take one minute to run into a friend’s house and grab something you forgot yesterday.

It only takes one minute for you to make the biggest mistake of your life.

It is easy to do. It is easy to make excuses for. Many of us are guilty of leaving a child in the car for just one short minute.  It just is not worth it! Besides it being illegal to leave a child in a car unattended it isn’t fair and can kill a child. Nobody wants this!

“Every year, more than 30 children die because they are alone in a car. In just 10 minutes a car’s temperature can increase by 19 degrees – and it continues to rise.”

About

Funded with a grant from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation of the State of Michigan and the Kellogg Foundation, our project began in April of 2006. The goal of the project is to form multiple collaborative bodies in the state to begin development of a comprehensive system of early childhood care and education for 0-5 year olds and their families. This system is similar to the Smart Start system of North Carolina and the state of Michigan is receiving technical assistance in our efforts from the state of North Carolina.
