The truth about child care in America is there is no emphasis on Early Childhood Education.
The States requirements enforces Safety and Health. But what about the holistic child?
What about the emotional, social, cognitive,motor and language skills?
When a Parent walks into a Center or Home program, it is important to ensure there are preliminary requirements, but why shouldn't parents demand more!
How is the environment set up, does it encourage learning? Are the children learning about science, math, building hand and eye coordination?
The minimum requirements for the Teacher or Provider should be CPR training for adults, children & infants.
Yes, we all may have to dig deeper in our pockets and also pressure our Congress persons to allocate more dollars for Child Care, as well as subsides from companies and corporations!
Our website is set up to give Parents a start, we selected programs that have minor or NO violations in their program. However, take it a step further and expect more.
Look for "Activity Areas", is there a schedule that encourages learning, is the TV on when you drop off and pick up your child?
Are the TV programs geared for learning or just amusement! How long is the TV on? Are there computers in the room, do they paint, water play, sand play etc.
Yes, pay a little more now so you don't pay later, your child deserves the best start possible!
