In This Section Expectant Parents Resource Program Child Care Resources Types of Child Care Child Care Philosophies ... Parent Checklist What Child Care Providers Want Parents to Know Required Childhood Immunizations for Michigan Parent Registry What Child Care Providers Want Parents to Know Acknowledge your caregiver Keep the lines of communication open - If something is happening at home that affects your child, let your provider know. Too often, providers are left on their own to figure out the problem, which is tough on them, but even tougher on your child. Let the caregiver know about good things too, like birthdays and special achievements, or occasions, so that they can share these happy times. Pay your provider on time - How would you feel if your boss habitually missed your pay day? Childcare providers have bills to pay just like you do. Also, fiscal disagreements can sour your relationship with your provider. Pick up your child on time -make an effort to appreciate the bond that exists between your child and her caregiver. Childcare providers are not just babysitters who show up for a few hours. They should be seen as extensions of your family, and they deserve to be treated that way.

Facts In Action Facts in Action Home Page One Ideas for Action ... Page One: The Many Roles of Family Child Care Providers Sometimes overshadowed by the relationships between caregivers and children are the important relationships between child care providers and parents . Juliet Bromer, a researcher at the University of Chicago, examined the ways family child care providers communicate with and help parents as part of a project exploring family child care providers' views about the roles they play in the lives of low-income parents and communities. For this part of the study, Bromer interviewed seven African-American licensed family child care providers in their homes, focusing on the relationships they formed with the parents of the children in their care. Each provider was caring for children ranging in age from infancy to school-aged, primarily from low-income families. While fostering the social/emotional, cognitive, and physical development of children is their primary function, Bromer was struck by how the providers she interviewed saw themselves filling a variety of non-caregiving roles, including giving moral, marital, and religious advice to parents. For example, one provider Bromer interviewed reported that she had assisted a mother with the down payment on a house. Bromer believes

111. ADA Q & A: Child Care Providers important step is that providers and parents sit down what the specific needs of the child are, and care providers should remember that there are tax credits http://www.pacer.org/pride/chldcare.htm

PACER Center Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights PACER Center E-mail Directory text-only site HOME WHO WE ARE LINKS ... GUEST BOOK by Deborah Leuchovius, PACER ADA Specialist Many questions we hear at PACER related to enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are about how the ADA affects child care providers. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions: Q. Are church operated child care centers covered by the ADA? A. No, not by the ADA. Churches and other religious entities are exempted from having to comply with the ADA. If a child care program is operated by the church itself, the church is not required to comply with the ADA. However, if the church leases space to a privately operated day care center, the private child care center would have to comply with ADA provisions. NOTE: Although churches may be exempted by the ADA, they are not specifically exempted in Minnesota's Human Rights Act. Under that state law, which also requires that public accommodations such as child care centers provide access to their services to individuals with disabilities, church-run child care centers will be just as accountable as other Minnesota child care providers. Q. Are family child care providers required to comply with the ADA?

WHAT IS QUALITY CHILD CARE? High quality child care requires a commitment from both parents and providers who form a close working relationship for the well being of the child. The commitment begins with the search for child care. There are many different types of care and many different ideas about the ideal environment for children. It is important for parents to think about the following factors in deciding what is quality child care for their child: Status with Regulatory Agency? Parents should always check with the regulating agency, whether it is state licensing or the county certifier, to check to see if there have been any complaints or concerns filed by other parents about this center. Also ask about whether the provider has been cited for regulation violations during monitoring visits and what the results of those citations were. Who will be doing the care? Accreditation – Programs, whether they are family in home care or group centers, meet and document high quality standards of care by becoming accredited by the National Association of Family Day Care (NAFDC) or the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Continuity of Care - Children do better when they have continuity in their relationship with caregivers - when they can continue to be with people they trust over a period of time.
