Expectations from your child's provider
-
I would want to know that my child was safe, that the teachers were watching to make sure they were okay. I would also want to know that they felt a sense of belonging, that they had friends and that their teachers were supportive of them. Then I’d want to know if their development was typical.

As a parent the 3 most crucial things for me that I would want from a provider is number one, good intentions. That covers a vast majority of things. Love my child like your own, care for my child with tenderness and be emotionally available for my child. Second provide opportunity for growth and exploration. As difficult as it is to leave my child day to day I would feel better doing so if I knew that throughout the day my child was being offered exercises and activities that encourage growth in their social and developmental well-being. Taking advantage of the days when my child is extra inquisitive and giving them different projects and outlets for their energy. Then again on the days my child is more reserved, maybe some reading to embrace their temperament but still utilizing the chance to provide some teaching or exploration through books. Lastly, but definitely not the least in importance open and honest communication. If there is an issue with my child, I want to know about it. Even if it is a sensitive or touchy topic, I would expect it to be brought to my attention so that I as the mom, as them as the provider had an open honest line of communication and nothing would be swept under the rug. That includes positive affirmations and positive aspects of mt child and their learning. If my son learned a new word, I want to know! If my son had a tough day and wouldn’t share with the other children, I want to know that too.

The first thing would be patience because if I know anything is that no matter the temperament of a child they will always test the patience of the adult responsible for them. Secondly I would want my provider to share their unique view of the world. It’s probably at least slightly different from my own families and I would want my child to hear different ways of thinking. And lastly I hope my provider would provide engaging and enriching activities for my child.

MemberOctober 31, 2024 at 5:15 pmThree things I would want from my child’s provider is someone who communicates problems with me, someone who provides a safe and calm environment, and being patient and compassionate with my child.
Three things that I fear when leaving my child is that they wouldn’t be paid attention to, not having their physical and emotional needs met, and my child is put in an environment where they can get hurt

My fears would be that they might get hurt, lost, or upset and I wouldn’t be able to calm them down.

As a parent of a young child the three most important things a childcare provider can do is keep me up to date in what is happening in the classroom, always provide a safe learning environment, and care for the child in a similar way as I do.
