| What I expect from parents 1. Open communication Explain clearly Your wishes And expectations about how Your child will be cared for. Also provide updates on problems And progress that you child is making. Give the me information about Your child's routine, activities And preferences. Good communication helps parents And I to work together In the best interest if the children. 2.Agreement on terms And arrangements Your should fully understand the expectations of my Daycare And what you as a parent is agreeing to. 3. Honesty And trust This includes being honest about how They believe the arrangements is working, whether you child is happy with myself And weather you Are. Although you need to be vigilant In order to safeguard Your child, you should still trust Your childcare provider to do the best for Your child. 4.Advance notice of any agreement to any changes I have to earn a living to so I deserve advance notice if you Are going to stop using my care, take a vacation ECT... 5. Pick up on Time And follow all agreements I have a personal life to, And I should be able to expect that you will pick up you child at a agreed upon Time. If it takes you 15 minutes a day longer to get home then you Are expected Or if you find it more convenient to stop at the grocery store before picking up Your child which makes you 30 minutes late 3 times a week you need to work out a new agreement with me Or find a way to abide by the original one. 6. Sick children agree with me In advance about when you can Or cannot bring a Sick child. 7.Payment on Time I have to pay house payments And buy food too so I need you to abide by the agreed fees on a timely manner 8. Respect Realize that taking care of children is a job And I am a worker, Just as you Are. I am not Just a baby sitter. I am one of the most important persons In Your Child's life And yours too. 9. Jealousy Try not to be jealous of Your child's attachment to me. Children who spend everyday with me come to love me. That love, though, doesn't diminish the love that Your child feels for you. Don't feel that you have to compete with me for Your child's affection. Be happy that They love And get the love In return. 10. No surprises I shouldn't learn on Friday that you have decided to take next week off from work, This is my livelihood And changes In my income should be a giving advance. I don't like surprises any better then parents do. |
