| Paths to Quality Research shows that high quality early learning experiences prepare children for future success in school, work and life. From birth through age 3 is the most important time for growth of the human brain. A child’s brain develops in response to the child’s experiences by building neurological networks in reaction to the environment. Nationally, at least 14 states have implemented statewide Quality Rating Systems to address the importance of early learning. Quality Rating Systems are a vital informational tool for parents of young children to use as they make decisions about what early care settings are best for their family. Quality Rating Systems also provide an accountability measure for funding and create an alignment between licensing, subsidy and quality across child care, Head Start and Kindergarten foundations. Indiana has chosen to implement a voluntary Quality Rating System that builds on a home grown model. All regulated child care providers will have the opportunity to participate. The original model was implemented by Early Childhood Alliance in Allen County and is known as “Paths to QUALITY.” The model and its replication in other areas of the state have shown dramatic success in assisting parents in locating quality child care and in improving the overall level of care in these areas. There will be a phased in statewide implementation period beginning 1/1/08 through 1/1/09. The system will be implemented in partnership with the Indiana Association of Child Care Resource and Referral and the Indiana Association for the Education of Young Children. The standards for Paths to QUALITY are consistent but tailored for family child care homes and for licensed centers and unlicensed registered ministries. Paths to QUALITY is a system where each level builds on the foundation of the previous one, resulting in significant quality improvements at each stage and resulting in national accreditation at the highest level. The system validates programs and providers for ongoing efforts to achieve higher standards of quality and provides incentives and awards for success. The four levels address: ■Level One: Health and safety needs of children met. ■Level Two: Environment supports children’s learning. ■Level Three: Planned curriculum guides child development and school readiness. ■Level Four: National accreditation (the highest indicator of quality) is achieved C-burg Childcare is a part of the voluntary rating system set forth by the State of Indiana for childcare providers. C-burg Childcare is currently on Level Three. C-burg Childcare has taken the first steps to National Accreditation-Level Four |

Source: Ten Signs of a Great Preschool (1996). Early Years Are Learning Years. National Association for the Education of Young Children If your child is between the ages of 3 and 6 and attends a child care center, preschool, or kindergarten program, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) suggests you look for these 10 signs to make sure your child is in a good classroom. 1. Children spend most of their playing and working with materials or other children. They do not wander aimlessly, and they are not expected to sit quietly for long periods of time. 2. Children have access to various activities throughout the day. Look for assorted building blocks and other construction materials, props for pretend play, picture books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such as matching games, pegboards, and puzzles. 3. Teachers work with individual children, small groups, and the whole group at different times during the day. They do not spend all their time with the whole group. 4. The classroom is decorated with children's original artwork, their own writing with invented spelling, and stories dictated by children to teachers. 5. Children learn numbers and the alphabet in the context of their everyday experiences. The natural world of plants and animals, and meaningful activities like cooking, taking attendance, or serving snack provide the basis for learning activities. 6. Children work on projects and have long periods of time (at least one hour) to play and explore. Worksheets are used little if at all. 7. Children have an opportunity to play outside every day. Outdoor play is never sacrificed for more instructional time. 8. Teachers read books to children individually or in small groups throughout the day, not just group story time. 9. Curriculum is adapted for those who are ahead as well as those who need additional help. Teachers recognize that children's different backgrounds and experiences mean they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way. 10. Children and their parents look forward to school. Parents feel secure about sending their child to the program. Children are happy to attend, they do not cry regularly or complain of feeling sick. Also ask if the program is accredited by NAEYC. NAEYC accredited programs complete a rigorous self-study and external review to prove that they have meet standards of excellence in early childhood education. C-burg Childcare is currently working towards national accreditation. We apply most of the ten signs to our program. As we work toward our goal of accreditation; we will improve and make adjustments in our program as needed. You as a parent, will be able to see that C-burg Childcare is a great classroom for your child. Thank you for choosing C-burg Childcare for your childcare needs. |

I Am a Child Care Provider Author Unknown I am the guardian of the citizens of tomorrow. Now, more than ever before in our history, I am helping to shape the character of the future generation. Every day – day in and day out – I am called upon to not only feed and shelter each unique little person in my care, but also, to guide and direct their energies on a path that will lead them to the highest and best that is in them. Every week – week in and week out – I travel the gamut from the mundane to the magnificent. I not only provide shelter and nutrition for these little bodies, I also provide nourishment for these developing minds and an emotionally nurturing environment for these unique little personalities. Always — I am aware that for most of their waking hours, I am the mirror that helps these little ones to form their image of who they are and how life is. The words I speak, the actions I take, the thoughts I think with regard to each child helps to shape the way they feel about themselves and their world. I have the awesome responsibility of balancing the needs and demands of each of these children, their parents, our community and the ever-present regulations of the State and Federal Governments. All the while, I still manage my life outside of my childcare business. I do all this gladly and with a humble appreciation for the opportunity to truly make a difference in so many lives. I do this because I am a childcare provider. My business is not a job…………It is a sacred trust!
