When Hurricane Katrina's victims began arriving on the First Coast, child care centers rolled out their welcome mats. Teeter Tikes Christian Learning College is one of them. Owner Pamela Davis opened the doors and will not shut them until there is no longer space or a need.

The care is being offered for free. "I'm a parent first. I have a daughter. I would wonder what would I do if it were me," said Davis. If it's only for an hour or an entire day, nobody will be turned away." It's just an awful thing that happened. They've already been through enough and to add extra charges and things would be outrageous," remarked Davis.
