Child Care Consultant Services for Agencies and Child Care Centers

Quality child care includes many elements that all combine together to maximize children's development of cognitive, social, emotional, literacy and physical skills. Early care and education providers have the responsibility of creating an environment that is safe and healthy, and one that provides opportunities for children to learn through play. Interactions between providers and children should be positive and on the child's level while extending the child's experiences. Early care and education providers should also be sensitive to each individual family and should strive to provide a program that meets each family's individual needs while meeting each child's individual and developmental needs. In order to provide a quality early care and education program, early care and education professionals must have ample training and education to acquire knowledge of child development. Training and education should be an ongoing process.
