Becoming A Childcare Worker

The values and goals of being a childcare provider is having the desire to teach and guide young children. There is no control involved, how a child develops at whatever pace is up to the child themselves. No child wishes to be naughty or nice, they simply want love and to satisfy their natural curiosity. Providers are simply there to teach them appropriate behavior and how to solve problems independently. The top goal of a childcare provider is to offer the best practices in teaching. An Early Childcare Educator is available to support children and families while they learn and grow.

While regulation and standard are the keys to the success of a childcare facility, there are factors that I believe are equally important to be successful in an early childcare program.

The administrative and teaching staff must work together to ensure their practices are developmentally appropriate, and share new and/or creative ideas with one another.
