You have decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care.

Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.

It is also the responsibility of a teacher to establish an open, trusting relationship with the parents of each children in their care. Thus, parents can freely communicate their thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions about their child or the program. Parent satisfaction is something that every child care or development center should strive for.

I follow local, state, and federally mandated policies and procedures in order to ensure a well-run program. Daily I perform health and wellness checks when the students arrive and I remain apprised of who is allowed to pick the child up. I am attentive to possible signs of neglect and physical or sexual abuse. If necessary I will provide support and resources such as 211 First Call for Help or Beechbrook counseling to comply with the family’s needs. Ensuring appropriate adult-child ratio, current student records and maintaining open communication with parents is another way the program is purposeful. I identify the child’s progress
