How will you know if the care you have chosen is meeting you and your child's needs?
- Observe your child andn others at the centre and the operation of the centre.
- Talk to the staff about how comfortable your child may or may not feel.
- Talk to your child (if possible) about how they feel when they are at the childcare centre.
Your child may indicate they are happy and comfortable in the service by:
- Being enthusiastic about going to the service.
- Talking about what they do during the day in a positive way.
- Being involved in activities when you arrive to pick them up.
- Bringing home items made at the centre.
While the above are only indications about how some children may react, you, as a parent, will know if your child's needs are being met. At Guardian Childcare, our team members are trained to observe each child and will discuss with you any issues that they may think warrant being brought to your attention; after all, happy children AND happy parents lead to a positive atmosphere in any well-managed childcare centre.
