Expectations from your child's provider
-
The things I would want would be for a childcare provider to accept my child for who they are, even if it may be different from what that person’s used to. I would want them to give care and attention to my child just as they would any other, and I would want them to help my child when they struggle rather than leave them unhelped.
My fears would be not allowing my child to embrace who they are even if it’s different, ignoring my child, or not taking care of them.
-
1. i would want them to communicate with me even if it is just something small. i would also what them to be understanding. lastly i want them to have a good relationship with my child.
2. working at a daycare my fears would be someone talking bad about my child. i could careless if they talked about me but it they were to talk down to my child and belittle them it would make me very sad. second my child not getting the care they need from the daycare. i know there are a lot of kids in the room and you can’t always be right then and there but i mean not liking them and have your personal opinions about them and disregarding them because of that. lastly them not communicating with me. i know sometimes things slip your mind or you have 5 other kids in the room you have to watch but make sure you at least tell them whether or not they had a good day or not and why.

three things I would want most from my child’s provider
1. providing a calm and supporting environment that got to know my child as an individual
2. Having a physically and emotionally safe classroom environment and providers that had each child’s well being and best interests at heart.
3. Open communication of how my child is doing and any concerns and achievements, transparent about any issues or accidents either with other children, caretaker, or environment.(accidents happen and other children can be unpredictable but I would expect the provider to be honest and not try to hide anything)
three fears I might have
1. my child being neglected/abused/exposed to excess and ongoing stress in any way
2. my child not being accepted or being bullied by other children or provider
3. my provider lying about or simply not noticing any issues or potential problems or being unwilling to collaborate with me on my child’s development.

The three most important things would be that my child is safe, feels that they belong, and is making progress. Three fears I would have is my child being hurt (emotionally or physically), my child hurting others (emotionally or physically) and having questionable material taught to them.

I would like them to value…
1. Being fair and kind to my child.
2. To be well educated in early education concepts and ideals.
3. To listen to my perspective and to keep me involved in updates
