 Starting
a Child Care Facility Checklist
At childcare.net we get asked constantly about the best
way to go about starting a child care facility, whether
it be home-based or centre-based child care. To assist our
visitors with their venture, childcare.net has just developed
this exclusive Starting
a Child Care Facility Checklist.
Child
Protection Policy
This nicely designed Child
Protection Policy, also known as a Child Abuse Policy,
is a valuable tool used to give parents information on how
you will handle any suspicions of child abuse. In fact,
many licensing offices require that family dayhome operators
and daycare centre operators have such a policy in place
as part of their licensing requirements.
Child
Abuse Report
Children have the right to be free from the fear or reality
of abuse (either physical or emotional). A Child Care Provider
is obligated by law to report any suspected cases of child
abuse. Help protect the children in your care, as well as
yourself, using this form to document any suspicions of
child abuse that you might have. In fact, many licensing
offices require that family dayhome operators and daycare
centre operators have both a Child
Abuse or Child Protection Policy and a Child
Abuse Report Form as part of their licensing requirements.
Ask Us
We
receive many questions at childcare.net ranging
from parents needing help with their childcare queries,

facility. To share these questions with our visitors we've

Care Tip of the Week page.
