of children, and how can I continuously monitor and update them to maintain a high standard of care? “Family childcare is unique in many ways, particularly in the area of safety and health. Because your house is used as a childcare environment, you need to be aware of hazards that you will not encounter in other types of childcare centers, such as unlocked basement doors, yard tools, dogs, and medicine cabinets. Your first responsibility as a family childcare provider is to keep children safe and healthy while in your care. This in itself is a big responsibility, and how you do this will determine the developmental growth of a child. As the number of family childcare providers continues to grow rapidly across the country, states are responding by instituting tighter regulations and providing more detailed guidance. Childcare Education Institute’s online beginner-level course ADM102: Family Child Care Basics will help ensure family care providers understand not only their responsibilities for providing a safe, healthy environment but also the important role they play in helping children reach their full potential.”
