Policies
Communication
For the sake of the children, and, all family members, it is important to "build" a relationship. Let's keep talking to keep the channels of communication open. If both parents and provider work actively toward a healthy relationship, the outcome will be positive for everyone. Please remember that Child Care is a "caring" business. You may not agree with all our policies at the child care home, but please try to be supportive as I will try to be supportive of your decisions as a parent.
Be Sure to Check the Bulletin Board daily for....
- Vacation/Assistant Schedule for Dates when Sue is on vacation or in training session

Parent/Provider Conferences
If desired, either the parent(s) or Sue may request a 20-minute telephone or in-person conference to be scheduled any weekday when convenient. This is an opportunity for both the parent(s) and provider to discuss a variety of topics that relate to the positive development of the child, to problem solve and develop an action plan, or to ask questions related to the care of the children.
Every day....
