A resource document for implementation of community coordination of child care (the 4C concept), this organizational guide is based on the experiences of 24 local programs in Michigan communities, 1969-75. Flexible models are presented, capable of accommodating to the uniqueness of each community. Functioning to maximize resources, a 4C Council is a coalition of public and private administrative agencies, public and private providers, and parent-consumers of children's services. Local 4C organizations, together with the Michigan 4C Council, comprise a statewide child advocacy network. Three general developmental stages of a 4C organization are covered in this working document, with means suggested for accomplishment of tasks typical of each phase, from (1) initial committee, through (2) steering committee, to (3) permanent board. Topics treated include general organization, funding and budgeting, public relations, staffing and administrative organization. Models appended offer sample workplans, fact sheets and by-laws, as well as suggested publicity techniques. (Author/BF)
