    I would want my child to be respected, comforted when sad, and around polite people.

    The most important three things I would want from a childcare provider are: to offer a clean, loving and safe environment for my child to learn, to be an honest communicator and to support each other for what is best for my child.

    The three fears that I may have when leaving my child under someone else care are: they not paying enough close attention to my child and his developmental needs, my kid getting hurt because of neglect and my child no being care in a nurturing environment.

    As a parent, the three things I hope a childcare provider would provide my child are; 1. Making my child feel safe and accepted. 2. Take their concerns and emotions seriously. and 3. Encourage learning and growth. I would be most concerned about a childcare provider 1. Ignoring my child’s needs. 2. Not giving them tasks or things to learn. 3. Not helping my child when they are struggling.

    1. A safe and attentive place for them to express and explore their feelings

    2. A place that supports their individual interests and challenges them

    3. A place to explore and build relationships with peers and teachers and guidance within social dynamics and boundaries.

    If I were a parent three important things I would need from a child care provider are, the knowledge that my child is not in any danger while they are there, that they’re in a safe place with fun games and mentally and physically stimulating activities, and staff who I feel like care about my child and somebody I feel my child could form a relationship with.

    I would want the same love and care all the children deserve, protecting them and nurturing them. I would fear them not being protected, not getting the attention they want or need and not being well taken care of in general

    The 3 most important things I would want from my child’s provider are:

    1 To know that they either have every required training/background checks by the state, or have a year plus of experience (I work in NIDO, so I think in terms of this age group the experience would be very important for me)

    2 I would want to feel comfortable talking with them about any questions or concerns I might have

    3 I would want to observe and sense a joy for working with children in my interactions with them.

    I would really want to know that my child is safe so that means to be cared for in a good way. To make sure that their needs are being met as best as they can. And they are making sure that there is equality in everything they do. I want them to make sure that cause I have a biracial child that they will care for that child just the same as a Caucasian child. That is one of my biggest fears. Another fear would be that if I left them alone would they be also left alone and neglected. And then at the last minute they would clean them up right before I came as if nothing happened all day. That would be a scary thought. Another one would be if there was a predator in that environment. I would not feel comfortable with that at all.

    I would want the providers to: 1, keep me posted on my child’s progress, 2, be respectful and kind towards my child and 3, be willing to accommodate them when difficulties come up. I would be worried that the environment would be unsafe, that I could be kept in the dark about how my child is doing, and that my child isn’t being respected by his peers.

    If you were the parent of a young child, what do you think are the 3 most important things that you want from your child’s provider?

    I require my child’s provider to keep my child safe, communicate with me about everything. I would like to know about cute funny stories and concerns. And I would require honesty/trust/ openness with the provider.

    If I were the parent of a young child, I would want trust more than anything. Trust that they would teach the truth, that they would keep my child safe from harm, and that they would love and nurture my child with the same level of care that I would myself. Three fears I would have would be teachers ‘teaching’ opinions and baseless beliefs instead of hard facts, not watching my child closely enough, and my child having a teacher who isn’t dedicated and passionate about their job. I would want my theoretical children to have a teacher that cares about them, their job, and about teaching real truth over anything else.
