Child Development Media » Children in Groups

This program provides a comprehensive overview of high-quality child care program standards. The video was produced to give parents the information and guidance they need to make the best child care decision for their child and family. It is also a resource for training programs, parent groups, and child care providers.

The four types of child care are identified and described, including private, in-home care. Child care experts, providers, and parents discuss how to locate quality care, what questions to ask when interviewing prospective placements, what quality care looks like, and how to look at a child care environment to spot potential problems.

Licensing and accreditation are defined. The importance of provider qualifications, a statement of philosophy, an open-door policy, and the child-to-adult ratio are discussed.

Health care professionals review hygiene issues and immunization, and describe what should be included in a child care facility's health policy. Suggestions are offered for facilitating the process of transitioning children to child care. A checklist is included for accessing child care programs.
