Quality Home Child Care
A family childcare provider continues the
parents role of caregiver, nurturer, comforter, and first teacher. The provider
is not just a babysitter. A sitter comes into your home for a few hours. You
tell her what you want for your child. A family childcare provider welcomes you
and your child into her home. She plans meals, schedules, and safety. She
organizes the children's activities. She will appreciate your family values and
child rearing practices. She is a professional and you can rely on her judgment.
Working together as a team, you will provide the best for your child. The
provider is not a substitute for you. You are the most important person in your
child's life and the provider respects that.
Here are just a few of the advantages of home
care!
- Your child receives individual attention.
- There is structure with more flexibility
than in a center.
- There is less illness because there are
fewer people in and out, which means fewer germs are spread to your child.
- Your child is cared for and taught by a
trained childcare professional who is usually a mother as well.
- Children have an opportunity to play and
learn with others in a much smaller group than in a center.
- Your child has the same caregiver all day
every day. And there is one person who knows exactly what your child has
done, eaten, etc. throughout the day.
- It is possible for your child to remain
with the same provider from infancy up to or through school age.
- A quality childcare home may cost more than
some day care centers, but the lower number of children, quality of care and
consistency of the caregiver makes the difference in price more
understandable.
- The ratio of children per caregiver is much
lower in a childcare home than at a daycare center. For example a daycare
may have 11 two year olds with one caregiver or 22 two year olds with two
caregivers; A registered childcare home is allowed a maximum of 12 children
and at least 6 of those must be school age.
- You and your child are treated as part of
the family in a childcare home rather than being just another number in a
large center.
