Your local Early Years Department at your Council,  (some of them are now called Sure Start),  will have all the information you need such as manuals etc.\n\nIt's their job to get the information out to anyone who needs it.\n\nIf you go to your local Council's website, click on education and you should find their contact details there.\n\nBest of luck.

To set a uniform standard.  Everyone has their own set of standards or ethics to live by.  You are correct that it is a matter of belief.  It is a philosophy of life (and death?) that is ingrained in us generally as children.  Sometimes our parents teaching does not take effect, or like a child, we decide the rules our parents set down for us are not for us.  At other times our parents don't teach us their philosophy, so society takes over and rules are made (hopefully for the good).  Sometimes, those in authority get a little carried away, then we have things like the Inquisition and Hitler.  Legislators try to take the middle path.  And who knows better than our legislators on how to straddle the fence.

you could look at our national curriculum attainment targets.. but I don't think you would be any more clued up. \nI would try to put what you want in kid language ie/communication, knowledge and understanding etc, and then think about how well they have done it. \nThat way, you and they understand it.

Look in your local directory and call around. It will take you time but it will be time well spent since it will be a big part of your child's life. You don't want to leave your loved ones in unfit care. Once you have found a couple that sound good, make an appointment to go and check out the best ones. Here are some good things to look for when you visit:\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?\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 provided by centre).\n\nI hope this 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.

I did a child care course and i know that there are many areas of care, so i think my definition would be to ensure that every aspect of the persons needs, feelings and dignity and what they want are taken into consideration and and every aspect of that care carried out to the highest possible standard.

Schools seek to prepare children to become active and productive members of the workforce.\n\nFamilies prepare children to become responsible parents and involved community members.\n\nIt's supposed to be a team effort.\n\nIdeally. Sigh.

Child Advocacy.\n\nIt would be my goal to help every and any child in need.

Any child at risk should be protected at all costs. Talking to your GP would be a start.

What do you mean in a care?

You need to understand the difference between what a YMCA offers compared to what a "transitional housing" offer. There is a very distinct difference. \nYMCA,s generally are not really geared for tenacy at all and those that "live" at one are defined as borders rather than tenants. Fire codes do apply and so do safety standards but the mayor of that city or town is the one who has the power to enforce them. YMCA's are private property and they can make whatever rules they see fit including  curfews

It is very important!\n\nThe NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct can be used to help make difficult decisions. It is a reference to help clarify our thinking and prioritize our responsibilities. Divided into three parts, it is built upon Core Values that we hold about what we ought to do and to be with young children, the Principles that define practices, and Ideals, or exemplary practice. It is a professional compass for use in making a decision.\n\nThe Core Values are “deeply rooted in the history of our field” such as:\n\nAppreciating childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle\nBasing our work with children on knowledge of child development\nAppreciating and supporting the close ties between the child and family\nRecognizing that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture, community, and society\nRespecting the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague).\n\nThe Ideals guide actions. Conscientious practitioners:\nAre familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and keep current through continuing education and in-service training\nRecognize and respect the uniqueness and the potential of each child\nRespect the dignity of each family and it’s culture, language, customs, and beliefs.\nEstablish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, and cooperation with co-workers.\nCreate a climate of trust and candor that will enable staff to speak and act in the best interest of children, families, and the field of early childhood care and education\n\nThe Principles guide our responsibilities. The most important principle:\nAbove all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, intimidating, emotionally damaging or physically harmful to children.\nThis principle has precedence over all others in the Code.
