TIPS ON CHOOSING FAMILY CHILD CARE AND RELATIVE CARE Look for Someone Who is Warm and Caring Toward Your Child. Parents and providers agree and research shows that this is one of the most important ingredients of quality. Look at the way the provider approaches your child — is she/he caring? How does she/he treat children who are crying — is the child comforted or criticized? Ask the provider to describe a child she/he has cared for before — are her/his words harsh and judgmental or appreciative of the child’s special qualities? Look for Someone Who is Attentive and Responsive. This is also crucial to quality. Look at how the provider pays attention to children and talks to them. Does she/he ask questions that encourage them to express themselves, or engage them in conversation? Look for Someone Who Wants to be a Provider. Ask why she/he became a provider and see how the provider seems to feel about this work — is it out of a commitment to children or merely a sense of obligation to the parents? Look for Someone Who Seeks out Opportunities to Learn About Children.
