| Summary: | Based on the premise that good child care jobs are the cornerstone of high-quality services for children and families, this booklet details workplace standards for family child care providers. The booklet is designed to be used for educating family child care providers, evaluating individual family child care programs, setting goals and measuring success, and enlisting the wider community in advocating for the resources that family child care providers need. Following an introduction describing the development of the model work standards and how they may be used, the booklet is divided into five parts. Part 1 describes the elements of a model contract or parent-provider agreement, and program policies that affect the quality of the provider's work environment. Part 2 addresses the professional development needs of providers. Part 3 looks at the home as a work environment, and sets criteria for assessing quality from the perspective of a provider's needs. Part 4 applies to providers who employ co-teachers, assistants, or other helpers. Part 5 features the importance of community support for creating better child care jobs. Seven appendices include worksheets and information on the legal impact of antitrust laws and family child care accreditation. (Contains 13 references.) (KB) |
