This is way to vague.... Child Care where?  Hospital, Juvenile Justice System, Social Service agency?\n\nYou need to re-post with more detail before your going to get a proper answer.

Here are a few of the favorites I used when I was interviewing.\n\nTell me about something you have read recently, and how you would apply what you learned from it to this position.\n\nExplain how you would address diverse needs in your class.\n\nHow would you ensure parents were well informed of your class objectives and the progress of their children?\n\nWhat is your opinion on mainstreaming, or inclusion, and how would you approach your class if there are students with learning disabilities?  (or autism, or spina bifida, or whatever is appropriate to the situation)\n\nWhat do you bring to this position that you believe no other candidate can offer?\n\nExplain your philosophy on student assessment as it pertains to social studies.\n\nHow would you incorporate technology into your social studies classes?\n\nWhat support would you need from me (or the priincipal, or consultant, or school district, etc., as appropriate) to be successful in this position?\n\nDescribe your preferred approach to classroom management and discipline.\n\nDescribe how you could contribute to the overall climate of our school, including staff and student morale.\n\nThere are so many possibilities.

I work with children who have special needs, worked for a year with a child who had Downs Syndrome and am working with children who are visually imparied.\n\nYou don't need any qualifications but experience is crucial. Volunteer work is a good way to gain some and get your foot in the door.\n\nIf you're in the UK you can work as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) where you'll be situated in a school and usually assisgned to one child who you'd help throughout the day.\n\nThe only thing i would say about a job like this is that while its amazingly satisfying it is also frustrating and difficult. You need alot of patience and then you need to consider where you're hoping to take it, as an LSA there aren't many opportunites to progress.\n\nYou could look at a career as an Educational Psychologist or Speech and Language Therapist. There are alot of careers out there that involve work with SEN children but require further education (degree then masters).\n\nHope that helps!

Train the parents of the child on how to raise the child. Government can't take over that role. Look how it currently is done. A place of where child safety would gets its best source of knowledge is from mothers who raise their own children. Have Women run the service on a volunteer basis with no income and there would be an improvement in the CPS service.

Although I do not live in your area, I am a Preschool teacher so I can give you some tips of what to look for in a good nursery school facility. Look through the phone book and pick a few in your area. Your local government might also have some info for you. Call the daycares you choose and ask about availability, fees, opening hours and age groups. Pick the ones that suit your needs best and make an appointment to go and visit. Here are some specific things to look for:\n* Look at the building. Is it clean and safe? Are there heaps of resources/toys for the children to play with?\n* What is the play area outside like? Is there room for the kids to run? Is the equipment safe and well maintained?\n* Are the staff friendly and happy? Are they getting down on the children's level and interacting with them or are they standing back watching and/or talking with each other?\n* Do the kids currently at the centre appear happy? Are they playing well or running around causing havoc?\n* Do the teachers plan for each child individually? Do they write down observations of what the child is doing and plan activities based on the children's interests and needs?\n* Have a look at the major policies, including child protection, behaviour management, and food preparation/diets (if food is provided by the centre).\n* What is your gut feeling telling you? If you are not confident, it will be harder for you to trust them with your child!!\n\nI hope this helps!

Look up the local police, or child protective services. Both should be in the front of any phonebook.

Flash cards are good, as well as games.  Reading to your child and speaking to him with normal language, not baby talk will help as well.  I also recommend exposing him to as many experiences as possible (field trips I guess you could say).  Children who have access to different environments pick up on new skills and tend to do well in school later on.  Also, if you are considering child care, look carefully at the business you will be intrusting his early education in.  Some daycares don't do a good job at fostering speech and early reading skills.  Ask if they follow a curriculum and ask them if they can explain what they will be working with him on.
