Kauai Offices Congratulations For Qualifying For Our Recent Online CDA Credential Training Scholarship For Kauai Providers/Educators!Elizabeth Duarte., Katherine Rosenbloom., Esther Rivera., Nicole Galchutt, Alyssa Dato, Akala Aiwohi, Dale Jacobs, Trish Rivera Quality Care ProgramThis Month's Hallmark: Partner with ParentsThis Hallmark can be found in NAFCC Quality Standards of Accreditation 1.9-1.19 found at www.nafcc.org The most important aspect of a high-quality family child care program is its human relationships. Providers set the emotional climate of the program. Good quality relations with the children and their families form the foundation of support needed for great experiences. Children thrive when they feel nurtured, appreciated and have a sense of belonging to a group that is part of a community. All kinds of development are supported in the context of warm, responsive human relationships. 1. Encourage parents to visit or call when children are present. 2. Spend time with parents going over the contract to ensure understanding. Be sure to submit any changes in writing to parent. 3. Individualize your program to respond to requests, preferences, values. 4. Team with parents on issues such as guidance/discipline, eating, toileting, etc. (e.g. set goals together for their child, hold an annual conference) 5. Keep parents informed (e.g. children's daily journal of what they learned that day, what was a challenge for them that day, etc.) 6. Offer a variety of ways for parents to participate in activities.
