THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2003 THE NEW TANNER 27, Tips For Finding Quality Childcare Passing on right... By HEATHER JACKSON Any parent who has faced the challenge of find- ing quality child care, knows it can be a daunting process. If you're feeling a bit anxious about choosing a program for your child, it's understandable. Parents often experience anxiety as they try to determine the quality of child care of- fered by potential providers. Not only do you want to ensure your child's safety, but you also want to make sure the provider is meet- ing your child's developmental needs. Af- ter all, the type of environment to which we expose our children during their formative years has a tremendous and long-last-° ing impact on their development. COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INFORMATION UPCOMING EVENTS: DEIPP Clinic at the On- tario Early Years Centre, Georgetown satellite on Monday, Nov. 10 from 9:30 -- 11:30 a.m. The Develop- - ment Early Identification and Prevention Program is a free service for parents with children from 0 -- 5 years.

The first thing you should know when consid- ering different child care options, is that suitable care can be found in home settings as well as licensed centres. Either setting can provide your child with the positive environment they need, and there are certain things that you will want to consider when selecting the type of care for your child. be For more information about quality child care, how to find quality child care in your area or how to become a registered home child care provider, contact the Halton Child Care Registry at 905-8750-0235 or visit their website at www.hcer.ca.
