Starting A Child Care Resource List

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, to caregivers wanting to know how to handle various issues regarding the start up and operation of their child care facility. To share these questions with our visitors we've introducing this new Ask Us feature in our Child Care Tip of the Week page.
