Busy parents rely almost heavily on child care centers on the day-to-day care of their children. Whether the child is in a child care center, a home-based family child care program, or an informal learn and play group, there is a common denominator to the quality of care being provided — that is, the relationship between (i) the care provider and the children, (ii) the things that child care providers do to nurture the children, (iii) as well as the strengthening of their social and emotional development.

I remember my 8-year old niece Dawn, who currently works part-time (:)) as my sister’s assistant/tutor in her care center, the Cherished Child Care Center in Nevada, said that she wants to be a teacher someday because she wants to teach and help kids to be able to read and write like her. But when I said that I want her instead to either be a model/singer or a tennis player, she went mum, she had no idea what I was talking about. Hehe. Children that are both socially and emotionally able to get along with other children, understand and regulate their emotions, and also pay attention to adults, are best prepared to succeed in school and in life. That is why sending your children to child care centers or pre-schools is very important since all kids really deserve a great start to start great.

Quality child care as provided by the Cherished Child Care Center shows how quality care looks different in different settings. Child caring actually is providing care and/or supervision for children and their daily needs, in a home or child care center. Most parents choose centers because they believe that larger groups, multiple caregivers, and state inspections make programs safer for their children, also make the arrangement more dependable, and that they respect the reputation of the child care program or the institution sponsoring it. In a center, there are more staff, space, equipment, toys, as well as organized activities, which provide a better learning environment for the children since the children’s healthy development depends on safe and positive experiences during their first few years of life.
