INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need to cite the textbook next to information you use from it within the text of your paper. Introduce the author or authors in the sentence. One way to cite a textbook in APA format is to introduce the author in the sentence. Use the last name only. If there are no authors, but there is an editor, the editor should be listed instead. End with the publication year in parentheses. Example: According to Smith, the theory is not sound (2000). Example two: Clark and Hernandez believe otherwise (1994). If you use a quotation or direct passage from the textbook, you also need to indicate the page. List the page number at the end of the quote as noted (p. page number). Example: According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). If you do not introduce the author in the sentence, you must include the author's last name in the parentheses that follow the quoted or borrowed text. If there are multiple authors, list all of them. Put a comma after the last name of the author and then the year of publication. Example: This belief was proven wrong thanks to new research (Johnson, 2008). Studies indicate otherwise (Smith, Johnson & Hernandez, 1999).

SUMMARY: Note where you got the information within the actual text. Cite quotations from the text in your article. Cite the author or authors in parentheses within the text.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Daycares can be broadly broken down into group daycare and home daycare centers. Group daycare centers are licensed facilities that run like a school. Home daycare is typically run out of a provider's home and may or may not receive the same licensing and training. Decide which type is more appropriate for your child to make sure you are searching the right kind of facilities. Typically, group daycares have a more educational curriculum, always have more than one caregiver present, are more closely regulated and monitored, and have caregivers with an early childhood education background. Home daycares are often closer to a nanny or babysitter. Your child may receive more one-on-one attention depending on the caregiver's personal limit, and curriculum may be more informal. If you know ahead of time that you will be sending your child to daycare, start looking at locations at least 6 months before the planned start date. If you live in a city where spots fill up fast or only want to consider elite schools, you may need to start looking even earlier. Not only does this give you time to find a slot, it will give both you and your child some extra time to adjust to the change in routine. Choosing a daycare is important because both you and your child need to feel comfortable with the facilities and caregivers. The first thing to look for is a daycare's reputation. Check with other parents of children at the daycare and read online reviews. A good daycare should be known for being friendly and nurturing. You should also look for a daycare that: Has an established, written set of policies regarding its operations, emergency procedures, and sick children. Has a current license and credentials on file with your local social services department. Has safe facilities with clean floors, walls, and kitchen and prep areas, as well as ample room inside and outside for all the children in care there to move, explore, and feel comfortable. Has a well-trained staff. Provides age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate activities. Has appropriate disciplinary procedures that are consistent with your own. Has a system in place to notify you about your child's progress or behavior. Choosing a daycare that follows a daily schedule makes the transition easier because both you and your child will know what to expect. Look for a daycare with a diverse curriculum that includes physical activity, naps, daily reading sessions, group programs, individual activities, meals, snacks, and some free time. A well-thought-out curriculum is both fun and educational for your child. If you have additional educational requirements, such as a bilingual staff, look for that in the curriculum. The staff should be caring and nurturing toward your child and treat the parents with respect. Additionally, qualified staff should have at least an associate's degree in early childhood education, as well as CPR and other emergency care training. Schedule a visit to meet the staff and see if you like them. States and provinces may have their own, specific requirements for daycare workers. Be sure to check your local regulations to make sure the daycare staff meets local regulations. Think of your visit like you are interviewing the daycare for a job. Ask questions about everything including hours, fees, child-to-caregiver ratios, teaching and discipline philosophies, food nutrition, and anything else you may need to know.

SUMMARY: Pick the type of daycare you want for your child. Start looking for a daycare at least 6 months in advance. Evaluate the daycare centers to check for signs of quality. Look for a daycare that has a set schedule. Take the time to meet the staff in-person.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is recommended that you store it in a smaller Tupperware container, so that you can clean food off the crock pot just after it cools down. If your crock pot has a removable stoneware container, remove it from the heating portion to cool. Place it on a stove top. If you cannot remove the inner portion of the crock pot, you must make sure the device is unplugged and cooled completely before cleaning with water. Crock pots should be fairly easy to clean. If there is baked on food, allow it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes in warm soapy water. Removable stoneware containers can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. If you have repeated problems with hard to remove food, you may be cooking the ingredients for too long. Do not use scouring pads to clean the crock pot, or it may damage the surface. Wipe dry. Wipe dry after cleaning to reduce the likelihood of spots.

SUMMARY:
Remove leftover food from your crock pot. Clean with warm soap and water. Wipe the heating base with a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. Remove water spots with vinegar. Finished.
