Parent's Responsibilities
Dear Parents,
What I as a provider should expect from you, the parent:
Open communication. Explain clearly and carefully your wishes and expectations about how your child will be cared for. Also provide updates on problems and progress that your child is making. Good communication helps us work together in the best interest of your child.
Agreement on Terms or Arrangements. You should fully understand the terms of the contract and the policies and procedures that you as the parent are agreeing to. Honesty and Trust. This includes being honest about how you believe the arrangement is working. Although you need to be vigilant in order to safeguard your child, you should trust me as your childcare provider to do the best for your child. Show your trust by asking questions rather than jumping to conclusions when apparent problems develop. Pick up on time. I as your provider have a personal life, please no trip to the grocery store etc. unless is with in your contract time on your way here just because you find it more convenient, ultimately the care of your child is your responsibility, any late pick-ups will result in a late fee. Payment on time and no “rubber” checks. I have bills to pay and food to provide also. Respect. Realize that taking care of children is a job and that not only am I a worker, but also a working parent. Recognize that this is not an easy job. I am not “just a Baby-sitter”. Last but not least. I am only human; I’m not “superwoman”. Please don’t expect me to do things that you yourself would not want to do.
Goals
While in my care your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, which promote all aspects of development. Tiny Hands Villafranco Family daycare provides for children the comfort and experience of belonging to an extended family. I provide a home like setting; therefore I do not follow a strict routine. My approach to childcare is child centered and child directed. Children are offered choices whenever possible. At times your child will bring home work done here, which will give a brief overview of what we are doing but please remember that just because you are not seeing anything in the way of papers does not mean that we have not been busy all day.
