Starting a Child Care Facility Checklist
   At childcare.net we get asked constantly about the best way to go
   about starting a child care facility, whether it be home-based or
   centre-based child care. To assist our visitors with their venture,
   childcare.net has just developed this exclusive Starting a Child
   Care Facility Checklist.

 Child Protection Policy
   This nicely designed Child Protection Policy, also known as a Child
   Abuse Policy, is a valuable tool used to give parents information on
   how you will handle any suspicions of child abuse. In fact, many
   licensing offices require that family dayhome operators and daycare
   centre operators have such a policy in place as part of their licensing
   requirements.

 Child Abuse Report
   Children have the right to be free from the fear or reality of abuse
   (either physical or emotional). A Child Care Provider is obligated by
   law to report any suspected cases of child abuse. Help protect the
   children in your care, as well as yourself, using this form to
   document any suspicions of child abuse that you might have. In fact,
   many licensing offices require that family dayhome operators and
   daycare centre operators have both a Child Abuse or Child
   Protection Policy and a Child Abuse Report Form as part of their
   licensing requirements.

Grants & Funding Resources for Child Care

   assist our visitors, child care online has done extensive research
