44 Childcare “ Implement innovative methods of offsetting the demand for child care created by the [Bayer] project . . . including infant care, affordability, sick child care, and health care training for local child care providers.” Working with the City and local non-profit child care providers, Bayer has made significant contributions toward innovative child care solutions, both for its employees and for parents throughout the city—particularly those with low incomes.

This subsidy provided care for an average of two children per day, and represents about 25 percent of the program’s total annual budget. BAnAnAs—InfAnt AnD ChIlD CARe Bayer is proud to be among the nation’s “Best Employers for Working Mothers,” as honored again in 2009 in Working Mother Magazine. However, space and budget constraints at the Berkeley site have delayed the company’s goals of providing an on-site child care center. In 1992, Bayer agreed to fund through 2002 annual child care subsidies for low-income Berkeley families. In the 1999 First Amendment to the Development Agreement, Bayer agreed to continue the subsidies with lump sum payments every six years in the event the company has not constructed an on-site child care facility for employees. The first payment under the Amendment, of $135,478, was made to BANANAS, Berkeley’s statedesignated child care Resource and Referral Agency, in 2004. BANANAS has invested this money, and in 2009 used earnings and carry-over funds from the Bayer payments to provide child care subsidies of $400 per month to 16 eligible low-income families.

BANANAS provides outreach to the provider community about the Bayer program through its website and newsletter, in workshops, and in mailings to directors of child care centers and family child care providers. More than 120 local child care providers and teachers attended two workshops convened by BANANAS in 2009: “Stop, Drop and Roll: Fire Safety Workshop” and “Don’t Let the Flu Bug You and Your Child Care Program.” In addition to the workshops, BANANAS sent a CD with fire safety songs, and an informational packet on “preparing for the flu,” to every child care program in Berkeley. Throughout the year 104 child care providers working or living in Berkeley engaged in 15-hour health and safety training, with scholarships of up to $100 per person provided by Bayer funds. Bayer funds also enabled BANANAS to offer more than 20 classes to 127 participants on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first aid, and preventive health for child care providers who speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Twenty-four teenaged babysitters attended a class in CPR and first aid in June, 2009. 45
