What is quality childcare?
Why is quality childcare important to a child?
Every child has the right to quality childcare. Imagine what your child will be like as an adult. How children grow and develop has a lot to do with the type of care they receive as a child. When children experience warm, supportive interaction with other children and adults, they feel safe and good about themselves. Helping children to learn and develop strong physical and social skills is another benefit of quality childcare.
By providing children with a healthy environment that allows them to explore and discover new things, quality childcare prepares them for the next stage of their lives. By choosing a quality care provider, you’re giving your child a great start on developing a strong mind, body, and spirit.
