One of PATCH’s founding mothers, Jackie Dudock, shares her story here:
Forty years of existence for anything is significant. For a non profit organiza on it
means a need in the community remains and leadership has employed flexibility
to address change. I am proud of PATCH and to have been here in the early days.
In the early 1970's, I was a young mother who realized our household needed a
second income. I had degrees in Educa on and Psychology so there were op ons.
I loved being a mom and intended to provide the best experiences possible during
my child’s earliest years. A search for a care situa on outside of my home was
discouraging, even frightening at mes. On a visit to one facility, I approached
the fence surrounding a dusty, open area of dirt. Clinging to the gate were 4 small
keiki in underwear, tear stains on dirty li le faces. They reached out, holding my
skirt as I made my way up the cracked cement walk, toward a smiling, a rac ve,
pregnant young woman. I no ced one of my companions had a strong odor and his BVDs were full and hanging
low. I laughed a li le and said, "it looks like this li le guy needs a change." "We don't do that here”, she replied,
“they’re supposed to be toilet trained." That was a day that changed my life and set me on an unan cipated career
course of working towards ensuring op mal quality in Early Educa on programs.
I learned that the condi ons I encountered were not an anomaly. Any care was a challenge to find. The only legal
op on for care of infants was in private homes. Many operated underground, unlicensed, o en over crowded.
During this period, Hawaii had no regular early childhood training. Although I con nued to seek op ons, I knew
I was the best choice for my son’s care and educa on. As daun ng as it was to think of being responsible for the
children of others, it helped to think of it as providing playmates for him. I posted a colorful collage of kids doing
crea ve ac vi es on supermarket and University bulle n boards. The response was immediate and overwhelming.
Many more families than I could help contacted me—desperate and willing to drive to my home from all corners
of Oahu. We se led in with 4 friends for

my son. Thus began our Early Educa on
home. Calls kept coming. Visitors came
to see what we were doing. The “coconut
wireless”—Hawaii's social media connecon before cell phones, computers, and
facebook--had connected me with
parents, professors, and poten al care
providers. With a lot of encouragement,
I took a side journey to start a school.
It was to become the first na onally
cer fied Montessori preschool in Hawaii.

I met Marian Rauch, who had completed her PhD project to determine whether training had a las ng effect on
the prac ce of in home child care. The answer was yes, and even more important was in-service training and
support. Family child care providers from Marian’s project sought con nued mentoring. By now, I had another
baby and was determined to have her with me during her earliest years. We met with providers, their friends,
professionals in Educa on, Health, and Human Services, and a few mo vated parents of infants, to discuss issues
and strategize how to shi the way family child care was regarded, improve quality of care, and prepare the
infrastructure to support it.
Our most important task was to include program quality in the rules governing childcare. We made sure to get a
spot on the commi ee. Some were leery of making it more challenging as so many providers operated underground but without a minimum standard for interac ng with children there was no direc on or accountability.
Next was training, to offer consistent curriculum for providers, relevant to their roles in children’s lives. Ini ally,
trainings were held in private homes or parks. Sessions were at no cost to caregivers with volunteer Trainers. Two
of us had babies, which added to our credibility in the eyes of caregivers. Potluck suppers and snacks upped the
comfort level. We taught business prac ces, record keeping, child assessment, all aspects of child development,
and ac vi es for children. All trainings were designed to boost caregiver’s skills, self-esteem, and give them confidence to further their educa on. Eventually, Honolulu Community College brought us trainers on as "casual hires".
The first a empts to connect caregivers and parents were handled by volunteers. The number of parents needing
care, always, was greater than available caregivers. When the warm line became overwhelming, a paid posi on
was funded. A start-up grant was secured to set up an office and a Director was hired to move the organiza on to
the next level. The first Director, Ann Zavitkovsky was the daughter of an NAEYC President ,which drew us into the
na onal arena as par cipants in formula ng Developmentally Appropriate Prac ce and CDA Creden aling.
The success of PATCH and it's wide acceptance in the community was related to the power of our message that
the earliest years are the most cri cal in a child's development. Their experiences and interac ons with others
have an indelible impact on the people they become. The lives of young keiki are important and those who care
for them and guide their growth are important. PATCH shed light on the unacceptable condi ons of early care
and educa on and provided a solu on by drawing on the skills and abili es of accomplished caregivers to raise
the prac ces of those who needed it and educa ng parents and the broader community to recognize the
elements of appropriate care. During those early years, people from various agencies and diverse backgrounds
rallied to support our youngest ci zens and their caregivers with an absence of compe on. Their strong interest
and coopera on made the task of raising the quality and expanding op ons for families possible. It set a tone for
the interac ons of parents and providers and for caregivers to look beyond their front porches to learn and grow.
It is thrilling to overhear a conversa on about brain connec ons at a cafe or see posts online about ways to
enhance a child's growth. With the internet a whole new op on for learning exists. Standards of care and early
educa on have risen. There is a new set of challenges to be met. What hasn't changed is the need for nurturing
rela onships at home and in the workplace. For those who care for children , support and encouragement is
impera ve. Nurturing and bringing people together is a thing at which PATCH excels, or in other words crea ng a
founda on for family life.

Inquiries to PATCH indicate the thousands of young children in need of child care. Most requests are for care for kids age 2 years of age or younger. The majority of parents in 2015 chose a family child care home.
