It is the right of every child to have high-quality, safe, and nurturing child care.
All children have special needs.
However, some children, because of physical, emotional, or learning needs, may require extra support in the child care setting. Things to consider If a child care provider has never cared for a child with special needs, he may be fearful or uncomfortable until he gets to know your child. You are the most knowledgeable person about your child's needs, so it is important for you to share with the provider information and ideas that you have found work best. Children often act differently in the child care setting than at home, so don't be surprised if your suggestions don't always work out. Caring for a child with special needs is a partnership among the family, child care providers, and any specialists involved.
