Activities Child-care providers are knowledgeable about how children learn and the importance of play. In addition, many child-care providers develop and make their own games and activities for use with the children. Safety Procedures Child-care providers arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of a program and remain 15 minutes after the program ends in order to set up and clean up the room. Care is taken to ensure that inappropriate materials and equipment are safely out of reach of young children. Parents register their children when they are brought to the child-care room, and each child is given a nametag for identification.
Care is taken to observe food allergies and other health restrictions.
The minimum ratio of child-care providers to children is 1 to 10. Monitoring and Evaluation A client evaluation of child care is completed by the program contact person and returned to PEC within one week of the program.
