How to Pick Quality Child Care: from a Child Care Provider Part-8
Overall......
A) The provider is open and available all the time.
This is very bad. Imagine spending 12 hours per day, 5 days per week with up to six 2 year olds and you will understand what I mean! That is a 60 hour work week...with additional time being spent on cleaning, grocery shopping, bank runs, craft supplies, general business paperwork, etc. A quality provider will set limits on their exposure to stress. They will know what they can mentally handle as a work schedule and will demand that the opening and closing times be adhered to. Respect these requirements and limits..quality providers understand better than you what stress they are under on a daily basis and what they can handle. Quantity is not equal to Quality.
