&lt;p&gt;Child care is getting one step easier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A free conference, conducted in Spanish, will be presented Wednesday for child care and education providers, parents and interested community professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Called "Para El Mejor Inter&amp;eacute;s De Los Ni&amp;ntilde;os" ("In a Child's Best Interest"), the event is from 6-8 p.m. at the Yakama Nation Cultural Center in Toppenish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The annual fall conference is provided as a community service by the Child Abuse and Neglect Council of Yakima, a collaborative network of nonprofit agencies organized to educate about child abuse and neglect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Making presentations will be: Jackie McPhee, children's program coordinator at Children's Village in Yakima; Frank Ramirez, Educational Service District 105 program coordinator of KidScreen, the county-wide health-screening program, and Cynthia Luis-Frias, a supervisor with Department of Social and Health Services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Early care providers and education providers can earn credits for attending the training.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To register, contact Maria Vijarro at 576-4319, or e-mail Mvijarro@cwcmh.org.&lt;/p&gt;
