welcome about us our programs public policy ... order publications Tips on Finding Child Care that Works Best for Your Family Finding the right child care provider takes work. And it takes asking lots of questions, from the practical ones about hours and meals to the personal ones about discipline and toilet training. As you talk to providers, the most important question you must ask of yourself is "Will my child receive loving and careful attention?" There are many different types of child care, from child care centers and family child care to in-home care. Some care is licensed by the State of California, some is not. Licensing does not assure quality, but it does provide guidelines for health and safety. If you take the time to look carefully, you can find quality care for your child in any of these settings. Family Child Care Homes Care offered in the home of the provider, who is often a parent. The number of children a family child care provider can care for at one time depends on the ages of the children and whether or not there is an assistant or a second provider. Often care is provided for a mixed age group of children. Family Child Care Homes are licensed by the State. Child Care Centers A facility that can provide care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children all or part of the day. Although generally larger than family child care homes, centers may be large or small and can be operated independently or by a church or other organization. Sometimes child care centers are called nursery schools or preschool programs. Child Care Centers are licensed by the State.

Related Resources: Parent Link When Parents and Child Care Providers Disagree Listen to the article Parents often have to make some compromises between "ideal" child care, and the actual choices that are available. You may simply have to live with some compromises, such as a far-away location. But if you have other concerns, you may be able to work them out with the provider. Every family raises children a little differently. If you want your provider to do things differently with your child, talk with him or her about it. A good provider will welcome this, knowing that you are partners who need to cooperate. Be careful not to say something like: You shouldn't do that with the children." This may offend the provider or start an argument. Instead, start out by saying: "In our family, we prefer to do it this way." This shows you know that other parents may choose to do things differently than you. A good provider can then listen, even if they don't agree with you. Remember, as a parent, you have a role in the success of your relationship. Here are three things providers want parents to understand:

Child Care Literacy Project The Soho Center received its eighth round of funds from 7-Eleven's P EOPLE W HO R EAD A CHIEVE program. We appreciate 7-Eleven's support for our children's literacy efforts. This makes a total of 66 grants over the past eight years! IT ALL STARTS WITH BEING ABLE TO READ - The Soho Center believes that the foundation for life-long learning, literacy, and on-going school success begins at a very early age - well before school starts. One way to improve the quality of child care and prepare children for school is to ensure an enjoyable, early, and repeated exposure to good children's books and related, age-appropriate activities. The importance of reading is a major part of our REACH Initiative and this belief is at the core of our N ATIONAL C HILDREN'S L ITERACY I NFORMATION project (Click for Details) Since the majority of children in child care spend the bulk of their waking hours in family day care , this is the logical place to introduce them to books and reading-related activities. That truth is at the core of our Child Care Literacy Project - presently being piloted in many counties in Virginia. (P.S. for some great
