WHAT IS FAMILY CHILD CARE?
It is home-style care for your child, but in my home. "OK, I get it! You're a babysitter!" Well... not quite. In fact, the British term "child-minder" is much more accurate. Here's why:
First, I've NEVER sat on a baby! Second, I keep quite (!) busy loving, nurturing, teaching & minding everyone's basic daily needs. We laugh & play together. We snuggle with our blankies and TV is very limited. We eat around a real dinner table in a normal family atmosphere.
So you see, Family Day Care really IS home-style care, just the way you would give it.
WHY CHOOSE FAMILY CHILD CARE?
Lower Child/Provider Ratio
More individual attention
One consistant caregiver
Better parent/provider communication relationships
No staff turnover
Enhanced Social Development (due to different ages of children in care)
More home like setting
Child centered atmospere, not a teacher centered schedule
Emphasis on the individual child and not conformity to the rest of the group
