* I am a professional. I may have chosen this line of work because I love children and I enjoy my job, but this is still
my job/business. I have received specialized education and/or training to be a caregiver and educator for young children.
I am not a babysitter; I am a professional.
* I am not getting rich. In many places child care workers make less than
public sanitation workers, secretaries and other jobs that require a lot less education and experience. I do get paid in smiles,
hugs and recognition of appreciation from families.
* I need you to read all material and notices. I am counting on
you to know the information I send to you in writing. This includes newsletters, notes and contract material.
* It
is important that you communicate with me. Let me know in advance if there will be a change in your child’s schedule,
or the services you will need.
* If I ask you to bring in supplies for your child, please do. And make sure supplies
are replenished as needed. This may include extra clothes, art supplies, diapers etc.
* Remember your child is not
the only child in my care. Although I do my best to provide individualized attention at times, I am often unable to change
policies or disrupt plans to accommodate the needs of one family.
* Please do not send your child if they are ill.
If they are too ill to participate in the day’s activities they are too ill to be in care. I need to protect the health
of other children as well. If your child is or was ill, please notify me.
* I recognize that you are the most important
person in your child’s life. I hope that we can work as a partnership for what is best for your child. Please share
with me any concerns or questions about your child’s care and development. Work with me in helping your child learn,
grow and develop
