A Real Life Program A Real Life Program Program- Florida School Age Child Care Coalition Project- Center for the Child Care Workforce Sub-Project- Worthy Wage Network School age providers and advocates met informally at the 1988 and 1989 School Age Child Care (SACC) Symposiums in Orlando and during the 1989 Children's Day Celebration at the capital in Tallahassee. The creation of a Florida School Age Child Care Coalition was discussed with enthusiasm and promises for help. A survey was conducted to determine the level of interest, gain input, and establish direction. Actions at these meetings helped develop a base for a statewide network and an opportunity for information sharing. The Florida School Age Child Care Clearinghouse took the initiative to coordinate these events. The Clearinghouse was a project managed by LATCHKEY Services For Children, Inc. in Clearwater, and funded by the Florida Department of Education.
