The Child Care Collection:
Resources for the Early Care
and Education Community

Please note that effective 4/30/08, we no longer offer VHS copies of our programs. All programs are available as DVDs.

The Child Care Collection (CCC) consists of a variety of resources for parents and professionals in the field of early care and education. These resources include videotapes, books, newspaper articles and study guides. We add new items frequently and invite parents and caregivers to visit often and to contact us with any ideas they might have regarding our materials.

Who we are:
The Child Care Collection has been part of Ball State University for more than 10 years. Below are descriptions of the materials that make up the Collection. Please visit each of our pages for more information.

Videos:
The Child Care Collection video series now contains more than 30 titles. The titles and a brief description of each video can be seen by visiting our videos pages.

Foundations:

Vivian Paley
Vivian Gussin Paley, the only kindergarten teacher to receive one of the MacArthur "genius grants" has written more than 10 books about life in the classroom. The Child Care Collection had the honor and privilege of filming Paley at work in an Indiana preschool. Please visit our Paley pages to learn more about our Paley videos, and to read about our latest efforts to promote the use of storytelling and story acting in preschool classrooms.
