How Do You Tell If A Day Care Teacher Is Qualified?
When parents go to work they want to feel confident their child’s daycare teacher is qualified. Every parent needs to know they are leaving their child in good hands. Requirements for daycare teachers will vary by state and the size of the daycare. Home daycare teachers may have different state requirements than those who teach in a larger center. There are steps parents can take to determine if their child’s daycare teacher is qualified. Ask the teacher about her education. State requirements will vary. Most daycare teachers should have taken a few classes in early childhood education. Ask your child’s teacher what classes she had. Talk about past experience working with young children. A brand new teacher may be competent. However it will give you peace of mind to know your child’s teacher has experience working with children similar in age to yours. Keep in mind not all relevant experience needs to be from paid employment. Volunteer work with children and being a parent can be great
