Family child care in a home like setting is the best alternative there is for working parents. It provides a small secure environment for children during the most important time of their development. Family child care offers a home away from home, providing children with siblings of all ages, to play, socialize, and learn from. My goal in providing quality child care for your child is to provide

 A safe environment

 A nurturing environment

 A learning environment learning is not necessarily the ABC s and 123 s, but is also the learning of values. The learning of honesty, respect, self reliance, and potential, self-discipline, and moderation, the values of being; dependable, love, sensitivity to others, kindness, friendliness and fairness are the values of giving.

 And to foster unconditional love this kind of love is very important to me because children should not grow up feeling that love is only tied to a perceived correct behavior. I will give legitimate interest in your child to help your child feel empowered, safe and loved. I will champion your child s every achievement and support him / her through any difficulties. My commitment will be unconditional.

Communication is key to a successful child care arrangement. The parent and provider need to have a good working relationship so they can communicate and work together. Parent and provider need to exchange pertinent information in the child s life such as changes in routine, special events, or activities, as well as changes such as death, divorce, separation, moving, visitors, etc. All this information can be important in understanding the child s feelings, behavior, and well being.
