| Communication is very important to me. It is in the best interest of the child for the child care provider and parents to have an open and honest relationship. I keep parents informed about happenings at Little Leapers through the following means: 1) There is a message board by the door where I post schedules, emergency information, menu plans and monthly activity plans. 2) Each child has a journal that goes home with him/her every day. In the journal, I record the days activities, special notes or concerns, menu, diaper changes and naps. Parents are free to write notes for me in the childs book. 3) I write a monthly newletter which includes any special events or anouncements. Parents are welcome to contribute to the newsletter or to make suggestions for monthly themes or activities. 4) I have an open door policy. Parents are welcome to drop by at any time their child is in my care. When we are on an outing, I carry a cell phone with me if parents need to find us. 5) I welcome phone calls from parents throughout the day. If desired, I can call parents at work during the day (at a convenient time for me) to give an update on their childs day. 6) I do not schedule regular conferences with parents but I am glad to arrange one upon request. |
