72. Choosing Quality Child Care Overview Works with parents, child care providers, businesses, and community organizations to help promote the availability of quality child care services http://ncchildcare.dhhs.state.nc.us/parents/pr_sn2_ov.asp

Overview Making the Right Decision One of the most important decisions you will ever make as a parent is choosing quality child care for your child. Every child is special and unique and deserves the best start possible. Studies reveal that a high quality child care program will help prepare a child for school readiness by increasing their chances to succeed. Research also indicates that employers benefit when their employees' children are in quality child care arrangements because parents are more secure and stable in their work environment. This makes parents more productive; thus, making a win-win situation for everyone: parents, children and employers. How Can the Division of Child Development Help Me? The North Carolina Division of Child Development makes every effort to provide information parents need to make the best possible child care choices. The Division records a variety of information on regulated facilities that you might find useful in your search, including:

Registered Homes: Registered Family Homes provide care in the caregiver’s home for up to six children under age 14; they may also take in up to six more school-age children. The number of children allowed in a home is determined by the ages of the children. No more than 12 children can be in care at any time, including children of the caregiver. The application process requires that a registered family home provider complete an orientation class and receive clearances on background checks. A registration certificate is issued after licensing staff complete an on-site inspection to insure minimum standards are met. Registered homes are inspected every 1-3 years and if a report is received related to child abuse/neglect or standards violations. Licensed Child Care Homes: Licensed Child Care Homes provide care for less than 24 hours per day for 7-12 children under 14 years old.

Family Child Care of Douglas County PROVIDER APPRECIATION DAY Friday, May 7, 2004 (click here to learn more) week of the young child April 18 - 24 (for more information click here) Welcome to the first website built specifically for Family Child Care in Douglas County, Kansas! Whether you are a child care provider or a parent, I think you will find the information on this site useful and educational. As of Feb.30, 2004, there were 117 registered, 97 licensed and 31 group licensed Family Child Care Providers in Douglas County. That means that every week, 245 people in our county open their hearts and their homes to provide care for the children in our community. This makes up a huge percentage of child care as a whole in Douglas County. Family Child Care is regulated by the state and providers are required to meet specific safety and educational standards. But the look and feel of any given Family Child Care Home is as unique as the provider herself. Some prefer strictly family style care, choosing to teach through ordinary every day events such as setting the table and folding clothes (both excellent ways to introduce math concepts) spending their day rocking and cuddling. Others provide a total classroom concept complete with learning centers and age appropriate curriculum. Most of us fall somewhere in between. But whatever the style, providing a safe, nurturing learning environment for the children in our care is really what it's all about. Advancing that ideal is the purpose of this website.
