What four things do you look for, Child Care

Mamcareism answer is, when looking for Child Care
the (4) four most important things to look for is
1. Healthy environment, 2. Safe environment,
3. Are they licensed? 4. Learning environment,
would my child be comfortable and will they be
able to learn?
Last but not least, go with your gut feeling and
look at how the child reacts to the caregiver!

As a former Provider and Mother I have viewed
both sides of the equation and found that
children can thrive successfully in Child Care,
if the program addresses the child's and family's
needs!

Mamcareism answer!Child Care expenses.

Yes,you can use your child care expenses on
your tax returns. Ask your child care provider
to give you a statement at the end of the year.
The federal child and dependent care tax credit
is designed to offset some of the child and
dependent care costs that families pay in order
to work.
When using deductions, please talk to an accountant
or tax preparer for advice.

Answer for Mamcareisms:
Children should watch 1-2 hours of television,
of quality programs.

Children 2 years or younger should not watch
television!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has an excellent
article concerning children and television:
see, http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;107/2/423
for more information.

MamCareisms!

From time to time my son calls me Mam. Usually when he wants
something! So I decided to write about child care and call them
MamCareisms! The idea is to bring awareness to parents and guardians
concerning what to look for when searching for Child Care with a sprinkle
of my parenting tips.
These, MamCareisms is just Food for Thought!
Hope you enjoy.

Question: How much TV should a child watch each day, in
and out of child care?
Food for thought, I will post the answer soon!
