<p class="body12">RICHMOND,
                              Calif.&nbsp;(KCBS)&nbsp; --
                              Officials in Richmond have broken ground on a badly
                              needed day care center in Richmond. 
                            </p>
                            <p class="body12">The $8 million child care
                                center on Florida Avenue is due to open early
                                next year and will sit on the site of the first
                                childcare center in the nation, which opened
                                in 1942 for the children of &ldquo;Rosie
                              the Riveter&rdquo; women who worked for Kaiser
                              at the Richmond Ship yard.</p>
                            <p class="body12">Richmond City Councilman Tom Butt, who was a driving
                              force behind the center, said this will be part
                              of the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Place
                              and will become part of the National Park Service.</p>
                            <p class="body12">&ldquo;One of the classrooms will be restored
                              exactly the way it was in 1943,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We
                              actually have all of the original furniture and
                              toys. It will be an interpretive center that the
                              National Park Service will operate. They will be
                              able to bring visitors in there and show them exactly
                              what this looked like in 1943, right down to the
                              toys the children played with."</p>
                            <p class="body12">Butt told KCBS it took four years of jumping through
                              bureaucratic hoops and struggling to obtain funding
                              to get to this point.</p>
                            <p class="body12">"This was the most complicated project I&rsquo;ve
                              ever been involved with in my life,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;There
                              were so many people and agencies involved in it.
                              We&rsquo;ve been working on this for six years."</p>
                            <p class="body12">The money has come from various sources, including
                              the city of Richmond, the West County School District,
                              and state and federal governments.</p>
                            <p class="body12">The center is scheduled to open for business in
                              January 2011.</p>
