After reading your article titled "New daycare has vacancies" (Oct. 8). I would like to comment on the untrue statements made in it. As the director of Alki Community Centers Before and After School program I have been referring children to Alki Kids Place, as well as posting fliers for this program.

On Monday I helped a mom find the Web site online because she needed after school care. What we are not able to do is give the names and phone numbers of the participants on our wait list to Alki Kids Place. That is a violation of privacy.

Also, we do registration for the following year in May (not January). We do get full, but that just reflects the quality of program that we have here.
