As a parent, I would prioritize communication, trustworthiness, and partnership from my child’s provider. I would want regular updates, confidence in their safety and care, and collaboration in supporting my child’s development. My fears when leaving my child in someone’s care would revolve around safety, emotional well-being, and the quality of care provided, including concerns about accidents, separation anxiety, and inadequate supervision or attention to individual needs.

Three things that would be most important for my child care provider to have or provide for my child would be for my child to feel safe with her happy and excited to come to her program I would love to have great communication and a positive and healthy relationship and trust with her to be able to feel comfortable leaving my child with her in her care .

2. I would want them to create a strong sense of community within the kids, exposing them to skills, and subjects such as equality, teamwork, problem solving, empathy, etc…
3. I would also want a safe environment both physically keeping the children safe, but also emotionally as each child is going through different experiences and thoughts, and should feel safe in their own minds and bodies as well.
