The search for quality
childcare for your child can be
a tough task. Parents are some
times overwhelmed by the re
sponsibility. and do not know
where to begin. The following
is a list of areas parents may
want to consider when search
ing for quality childcare:
(!) Safe protected environ
ment
, (2) Caring environment
(3) Active environment
All parents want their chil
dren to be safe. And parents
can expect that requirement to
go beyond their intolerance of
abuse and neglect or keeping
poisonous materials out of the
reach of their children. Clean
iiness and healthy conditions
and practices are also a consid
eration where your child's
safety is concerned. A safe en
vironment can refer to the
harms and ills of the outside
world. Parents have the right
to want their children to feel
safe and know they are uncon
ditionally accepted in their
childcare environments—just
as they are at home.
A caring environment refers
to the caregi vers and their atti
tudes toward all children in
their care. The ideal caregiver
is kind, patient and loving, en
joys working with children,
and is sympathetic to and sup
portive of children's unique
needs. A child's caregiver
should have working experi
ence in a childcare setting.
An active environment is
one providing Ame for play
with age-appropriate materials
that challenge children's bod
ies and minds. The materials
for play should push children
to learn and think for them
selves. The materials for play
should push children to learn
and think for themselves. The
materials should also mimic
the real world.
A childcare environment
can and should lay the ground
work for a bright future. After
determining what an ideal
childcare environment is for
you and your child, develop a
list of questions to ask all pro
spective providers. The follow
ing are just a few questions to
ask:
(1) Are you licensed? May 1
see your license?
(2) How many children in
each classroom? What are the
ages in each classroom?
(3) How many teachers in
each classroom? How many
teachers per child? How long
has each teacher worked here?

is by Kobie Kruger^ the wife
of a game warden on a
remote station in South
Africa. The family, includ
ing three daughters, lived far
from the amenities of
education and medical care.
But for seventeen years they
lived very close to elephants,
hippos, and lions, to name
just a few. Perhaps the mggt^
interesting part of their
story is about the family
raising an orphaned lion cub
that grew up with their
children and lived as part of
the family.
