Could you tell us more about this cooperative day care system? A guest at
one of our meetings recently inquired about something like this, and I am
curious as to how it would work. Do each of the parents take a day off from
work to watch the children? Or do you all pitch in sort of like a "user's
group" to cover the cost of child care?

Curiously,

(Probably one of the few people who *has* been to Valley Oaks Village, and
I must say, it is very beautiful! I was very impressed with the design of
the common house--obviously a lot of thought went into it. How you achieved
that could be the topic of a whole 'nother thread on Coho-list!)
