    3 things most important to me regarding leaving my child with a primary care giver:1. Physical Safety2. Emotional Safety3. That they are learning 3 things that I would fear regarding leaving my child is very similar – I would be scared that they were not kept safe, that they were yelled at and not emotionally valued, and that they were just sat in front of a TV and not actually learning anything each day.

    I think the three most important things I would want are:1. For my child to be paid attention to and given adequate care and support.2. For the provider to be knowledgeable about early childhood development, and have the skills to appropriately support and teach my child.3. I would want them to be caring and empathetic, to show a willingness to engage with any child and give them support and care.I would be afraid of:1. My child not getting the attention that they need.2. My child not engaging with the material or finding it boring and under-stimulating.3. That my child would not be able to make friends and form connections with the other children at the care center.

    As a parent, the three things I would want most from my child’s provider are safety and supervision, warm, nurturing interactions, and engaging learning opportunities that support growth. My biggest fears when leaving my child in someone’s care would be lack of safety, my child feeling ignored or unloved, and poor communication if something happens.

    If I were the parent of a young child, three things I would want from a childcare provider are that they keep my child safe, support their learning and curiosity through activities like reading, art, and play, and communicate openly with me about their day.Three fears I might have about leaving my child in someone’s care are that they could get hurt, feel lonely or stressed, or be treated in ways that don’t match the values and routines we follow at home.
