CHILDCAREBOARD.ORG TO CREATE NATION'S LARGEST FREE DATABASE OF CHILD CARE RESOURCES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 9, 2007 -- Childcareboard.org officially launches its site today � and with it an ambitious effort to create the world�s largest central database of educational and child care resources.

The site was created by Adam Campbell and Erin O�Donnell, each with over twenty years experience working with children. Campbell has also worked in the software industry.

�It�s pretty clear there�s a need for one central place for people to find this information. You do a search on Google and it�s so scattered. All these different state agencies, all these different web sites trying to sell you something,� says Erin O�Donnell, who also runs a small child care program in western Massachusetts.

The founders of childcareboard.org say they were inspired by the simple effectiveness of craigslist.org. �Why couldn�t we do the same thing for the child care world?� says Adam Campbell. �One free, central resource for all child care needs. This would include schools- public and private, after-school programs, camps, children�s classes and workshops, nannies, au pairs, even babysitters. Why not have all this information in one place?� Child care providers don�t have the time or money, he says, to spend looking for publicity. �We want to fill in where no government agency can.�

Currently, childcareboard.org is broken down by state and region, with subcategories for After-school Programs, Au Pairs and Nannies, Babysitters, Camps and Summer Programs, Childcare Exchange, Children�s Workshops and Classes, Licensed Family Day Care, Offices and Services, Private Schools, and Public Schools.

�We invite all child care providers to list their services on our site,� says Erin O�Donnell. �There is no fee, and you don�t have to register. It�s incredibly quick and easy.�

Adam Campbell and Erin O�Donnell reside in western Massachusetts with their son, dog, cat, rabbit, and two fish. They are currently awaiting the referral of a new daughter from China.
