Childmate: A Guide to Appraising Quality Child Care

The Childmate authors have created a tool aimed at helping caregivers and educators provide quality services to children from infancy to five years old. The book examines the emphasis that must be placed on partnerships with parents, on family culture and traditions as the context of early development, and on child-centered approaches to care and teaching. Through the use of checklists and the caregiver doas and donats, the authors have created a manual that will be of great help to everyone who values and strives to provide quality childcare and learning.
