MemberJuly 26, 2023 at 4:46 pmIf I was a parent, I would want the childcare provider to make sure they are safe, respected, and given the proper attention towards their wants and needs.
I would be scared that a childcare provider would allow them to get hurt in dangerous activities, neglected, and their self expression or beliefs to be made to be seen as bad.

MemberJuly 29, 2023 at 4:13 pmI would want them to provide a safe, loving environment, accept my child for who they are, and strive to create a successful, supportive, and positive learning environment. I would fear for my child’s health and safety, I would fear that they are not being responded to when they need it, or that the teacher was giving negative feedback

1. id want open communication so i always know whats going on with my child within the classroom, know the providers will listen to my concerns or answer my questions, and will help me when needed. Id also want to make sure the providers respect and uphold the values and beliefs i have and teach my children, and follow that through to their teaching of my children.
Some fears i might have are that they will teach my child beliefs or attitudes i dont agree with, that they wont support how i parent or will judge me for my choices in parenting without good reason, or that they wont communicate and ill be left out of the loop about whats going on within daycare hours and how my child is doing in daycare.

MemberAugust 12, 2023 at 3:04 amIf I were a parent of a young child, the three things I would want most from my child’s provider are:
1. Open Communication
Regular and clear communication about my child’s daily activities, progress, challenges, and any special moments. This helps me feel involved and informed about my child’s experiences.
2. Safe and Nurturing Environment
Assurance that my child is in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where their physical and emotional well-being is a top priority.
3. Individualized Care
Attention to my child’s unique needs, interests, and developmental milestones, with activities and interactions tailored to support their growth.
As a parent, three fears I might have when leaving my child in someone’s care could include:
1.Safety Concerns
Worries about my child’s safety and well-being, such as accidents, injuries, or health issues that might arise in my absence.
2. Separation Anxiety
Concerns about how my child will cope with being away from me, especially if they experience separation anxiety or have difficulty adjusting to new environments.
3. Quality of Care
Fears about the quality of care my child will receive, including whether the provider will prioritize my child’s needs, offer appropriate learning experiences, and maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere.
