One of the biggest worries about keeping children healthy and safe is preventing accidents and injuries, especially since young children are naturally curious and may not recognize dangers. That’s why it’s best to ensure proper supervision at all times.

My advice would be is build trust from day one. Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship, especially with the parents of the child; they need to know that their child is safe and valued. When families and providers work together, children benefit most.

First, acknowledge the reason why she was late for the third time and remind her that the Center had a policy that was written down in the Families Handbook, which is given to them before dropping their children at the Center, stating that there is a fine when they don’t follow the policy per time they fail to appear for pick up.
