Trust and Communicate with Your Childcare Provider

I cannot think of any parent in the whole wide world who would want to just leave their child with a person they have never met before, or a childcare facility they have never visited. As a parent, you must make it your goal to completely check out the childcare facility before placing your child there and build trust with your child's teachers. You can start by learning the teachers' background information such as first and last names, where they are from, education, and how many years they have been in childcare. A parent must also ask what their child will learn, what their child will eat, where their child will play, etc... Also you can learn to trust the childcare facility and teachers by getting involved in some of your child's activities. Majority of childcare facilities throw parties every holiday. Make it your goal to come to some, bring things, and enjoy the time you are able to spend with your child. Also parents should never hesitate to ask for a parent-teacher conference if they have any concerns or even hesitate just to ask how their child's day went. When building a relationship between parents and teachers, communication is the key!!!
