Are Day Care Regulations And Daycare Requirements The Same Thing?

by Fiona Lohrenz

We shouldn't confuse daycare requirements and day care regulations. One is built upon the solid foundation of the other. Day care regulations are in place in order to ensure that minimum standards of care are adhered to. Relevant application in your day care is your job ensuring each regulation is tailored to meet the needs of the children you care for.

Day care regulations are a given - they are the law, they are practical, they are common sense and they ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of the children in your care. What you do to build upon these ordinances marks you out as an exceptional, above average facility. You are required to go so much further than that which is writ!. and if you haven't realised that yourself then you are in the wrong business.

When running a day care adding your personal touch and attention is as important as the serious, bottom line aspect of the business. While you must always keep the practical, bottom line, business aspect in mind you must also be aware of the small additions and tweaks that can make your daycare that bit better and more personable than the others.

Little things make a difference for example, calling and reassuring a mom who is upset by a tantrum throwing child goes above and beyond the required parental communication directive. While you need to be professional and calm when a new child starts you should also be aware of a mother's emotions and offer a few words of comfort.

Don't just buy equipment that is regulation safety compliant, think also of the comfort and enjoyment of the children. Instead of waiting for your inspection report compile a checklist for regular assessments of any repairs or replacements required thus keeping one step ahead and being extremely thorough.

In my opinion, day care regulations are there to be exceeded in so many ways thus ensuring the ultimate in quality care for your clients. Your daycare requirements are that you go that extra nine yards to make your business the best business.
