PCHP for Family Child Care

Participation Agreement

As a family child care provider participating in the Parent-Child Home Program for Family Child Care, I understand and agree to the following:

1. I will be at my center site for my two scheduled forty-five minute sessions a week. If I lead a group-family child care site, I understand that I, as the lead provider, must participate in all sessions, even if my assistant is also participating.
2. I will try to limit interruptions during these scheduled times and will arrange the daily schedule so the children and I areable to participate in the full 45-minute sessions. I understand that The Parent-Child Home Program for Family Child Care policy prohibits the Early Learning Specialist from being left alone with the children in my care.
3. I will keep pets in a room separate from where the sessions are held. I will turn off the television and radio for the sessions.
4. I will contact my Early Learning Specialist when I cannot keep a scheduled visit. I will leave a message at the Parent-Child Home office if I cannot reach her/him directly.
5. I will take care of the program materials and have them available for each visit. I will use the program materials with the children in my care during the week.
6. I will participate as a learning partner with my Early Learning Specialist so that, together, we can design literacy and learning activities toenhance the development and school readiness of children in my care.
