Parents are going to be looking for involved, well-trained and compassionate caregivers. They are going to want someone to care for their child that wants their child to flourish, grow and have every opportunity the same as possible as other children. No child should feel excluded due to disability in the classroom; while things take extra time and patience it is something that will definitely influence a parents choice of caregiver.

The child care setting is very important in a family's decision for care. They want to make sure that their child will be safe (both physically and emotionally), that they can easily communicate with the providers, and that their child will be in an environment where they will grow and thrive. These are factors in every family's decision but become more complicated when involving disabilities. My role in creating this setting is to make sure that each child is treated as an individual and communicating often with parents.

It is vital to show the families that you are passionate about what you do, that you love your job, and that you're willing to do anything within your power to help the child, and the family, feel welcome in the center and not feel excluded or targeted due to the disability .

In order to create a setting which all families, especially those families with children with special needs We take into consideration many factors. At our program we keep our ratios low (1-5 for 3-5 year olds and 1-8 for 4-6 year olds). Our classroom environments take into consideration the sensory needs of all children with soft colors, places for quiet and others spaces for robust play, rich tactile experiences and a strong daily/weekly/yearly rhythm. Our teachers communicate regularly with families in person, over the phone or via e-mail. We have parent meetings 5-8 times a year and two individual parent and teacher conferences annually. Our program includes children with special needs though these individuals may not appear obvious to a prospective parent(s).

The child care setting gives the families a good idea of what type of education and social experiences their child will be exposed to. The child care setting should consist of a comfortable environment for both the parents and the child. My role in this would be to express my concern for the child's development and have open communication with both the child and their parents.

Parents look for a safe and inclusive environment where their child can get a well-rounded education as well as social interaction. The child care settings give parents a preview of how their child will be introduced to new experiences and concepts that will promote their development. My role in this would be to express interest in the individual child's success.

Parents will look for a safe, warm environment for their child. It is my role to create this environment. It is also my role to make sure parents are included in their child's lives at the center and create a partnership for providing care for their child.

the environment should be inclusive to all children. It should be a warm welcoming environment for children and families. I help create this by creating areas and providing materials that are available to children with all abilities and include those with special needs. it should be warm, safe, loving and inclusive. I may need to add certain materials or furniture to make sure all children are successful in my care

Any parents want their child to be in the safe and friendly place where students feel comforable and warm place. That is my job to show parents and give them trust.

There are a lot of factors that come into play when parents are choosing a place for their special needs child. They will look at size to amount of kids. The ratio of children to teachers. The attitude and kindness of teachers. The noise level. The outdoor play equiptment. The accessibility for handicap or wheelchair using children. My role as a teacher is to make sure all of the childrens needs are met and to make the parents feel confident in my ability to care for their child.

The atmosphere is very important to a parent. Are the children having fun are the children learning. This is all the Teachers doing organizing the classroom to make sure all of this is happening and interacting with the children.

Parents will look to see if the environment fits their child's needs and personality, regardless if it is compliant with regulations of any kind. My role is to change or adjust the program as needed and within reason for children and family with special needs.

The attitude and character of the staff and the center. Is the environment welcoming and inclusive? Parents want to know there is a routine. If we don't have something their child needs, are we willing and able to make changes and provide for them? My role is to set the example and be the one who makes sure changes are made, if needed, to be more inclusive and welcoming for children with special needs. We currently fund an early intervention program and have a room set up for specialists to work with children during the day. It has been an amazing addition to the center.

The setting has so much influence on a family's decision to bring their children to that center. They need to feel that their child will be safe, well cared for, loved, and supported. As staff, it's important that parents see that in me when I'm working with their children and that the children see that as well. It's also important that I'm aware what our center looks like and offer up changes that could be made to help our center to our director.

You have to remember that the parents are looking for someone to understand and meet the needs of their child, not matter how specific or special that is. That child should never ever feel excluded from ANYTHING because of their disability. You should make ever effort to make them feel included with the group.

Parent need to see that you are compasionate and absolutely love everything about what you do, and they need confidence that you are able to care for their special needs child properly and treat them as equal as every other child there, despite the disability. They need to see that youre program has everything a disabled child would need and know they will not be left out of anything that the other children do.

A child care setting is important, because it help the parents know that their child will be safe and will help their child develop. One way I can help is to always communicate with families. I can also make our setting inviting and maybe invite parents to participate.

I think most families look for a child care setting that can provide quality care for the abilities of their child. They will be looking for a staff that seem warm, informed, and willing to make their child feel safe and accepted. A facility that invites positive relationships, and environment that is welcoming and not over-stimulating. An environment that includes routines and procedures that will benefit their child. My role that would create this setting is to be informed, willing to implement ways to enhance and apply changes that would benefit all the children so routines and activities can be participated by all the children. My role would be to have a close relationship with my staff, the family, and any professional assistance offered to provide the quality care that the child will need.

I think that parents want to be involved. They want their child to feel safe, loved and nurtured while learning. My role in creating this setting is to create an environment that is safe, comfortable, accessible to all children. Parents also want to see the caregivers interact with the children. One way that parents can feel safe is to see how the caregivers interact with a small group of children or a large group of children or individual children.

Our center has great staff members who are skilled and experienced and it shows! visitors would see this quickly in many areas such as classroom materials, ratios, teacher attentiveness, and pleasant surroundings. It is important to continually monitor all these areas and concerns.

Parents are looking for compassionate staff who are attentive to the needs of the children. that the classroom is not overcrowded classrooms that are loud and out of control. That the toys are accessible for everyone and that the children are having a good time and staff are interactive. what i can do to make my classroom fit those needs is to make sure my classroom is is ready for children of all abilities. i cannot change the ratio but i can make learning and interactions enjoyable for all children with differing abilities

A childcare setting that has caring and compassionate staff, consistency, availability and modifications as needed, and an environment their child will enjoy depending on their needs (noise, sensory, etc...)
It is our role as teachers to create an environment welcoming, enjoyable, and engaging for our students.

When the setting of a childcare center doesn't feel warm and welcoming and safe then a family wouldnt want their child or children going there. The setting of a classroom or a center in general not only determines how a center is ran but it also determines what type of people run it. I myself have 3 kids in childcare and work in childcare as well. my youngest son wasnt able to come to my center because he wasnt old enough. i was so nervous having him go to another center but the center that he did go to i chose because when i came in i felt comfortable and i felt like it was a place i knew my child would be safe. my role in creating that setting is by making sure that my children are comfortable when they arrive and to help meet their needs physically and emotionally. i make sure that my classroom feels like a home when the families arrive and i continue to make them feel like its a home and a safe environment.

Parents determine if the center fits their child's needs by, seeing if staff interacts well with their child. If toys are at a good level. If the staff and center are accommodating for their child's needs. Assessability.

Rachel

The environment the child care providers create should be all-inclusive. This includes but not limited to, lower ratios, adequate space for mobility, and well trained teachers. As a teacher, I stay on top of trainings to provide great care.

carrie
