Using Child Care
Warning Signs of Poor Care If you have a problem or concern with your child care, make time to speak with the director or provider as soon as possible. If you have serious concerns about your child’s health or well-being in the program, take immediate steps to protect your child. Most programs will have an “open-door” policy, where parents can visit the program at any time. As a parent, you should have access to your child at any time of the day. Any patterns of disturbing events or reports from your child should never be ignored. If you still have concerns after speaking with your provider, you may choose to remove your child from your child care arrangement, and look for another program or provider. If you suspect any type of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, remove your child from care until the situation is investigated or resolved to your complete satisfaction. Remember to trust your instincts, and ask a lot of questions if you have strong concerns. Here are some of the warning signs of poor care:
How to Register Complaints Find out about the program’s procedures for handling parent complaints. There should be a clear set of guidelines that explain complaint procedures and advise parents that unresolved complaints be sent to the appropriate child care licensing agency. If you have concerns about abuse or neglect, or your child care program’s state licensing compliance, contact your state’s licensing office and/or Department of Social Services. They will listen to your concerns and investigate the situation. Contact Link Child Care R & R in register complaints concerning a child care provider. |
