All children need a rich early childhood, richness accessible to them: their special gifts and special needs.
“The child’s mode of being in the world is such that the world becomes an invitation. It is things in the beckoning world that invite the child, that awaken his curiosity, that invoke…him to make sense of that multitude of experiences lying beyond; in short to become, through his play, both an actor and a meaning maker” (Suransky, 1982, p. 39).

What All Children Need from Community Playthings Collage
Information about Inclement Weather from a Bureau of Child Care Home Licensing Consultant
Due to the storms we had last night and the anticipation of more to come later this week, I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone of the Bureau of Child Care’s policies regarding loss of electricity and home and fence repair: Public Water Source & Sewage If a facility losses electricity, as long as their water and sewage are working properly, they can stay in the building until parents arrive to pick up children. Parents should be notified right away so that they can make a decision on whether to leave the children or come and get them. The facility cannot do food clean up without hot water and must use disposable dishes and utensils. If power is not back on by the next day, the facility cannot reopen. Private Water Source & Sewage If the facility is on a well and a public water source, the facility must contact parents within 2 hours to pick up their children. If power is not back on by the next day, the facility cannot reopen. If you lose power overnight and power is not restored by morning, you cannot open. If your home has structural damage, please contact me. If your home has structural damage, you cannot open until it is repaired and I may need to come out and approve it before it reopens. Structural damage would include a tree falling on the house. Do not allow the children to play in a play yard if it contains hazards. If a tree falls across your fence, please remove the tree and repair the fence. Repair the fence safely and quickly. The excuse that you’re waiting for the insurance company to come out is not acceptable. If a situation arises and you’re not sure what to do, then please call your licensing consultant. Thanks, Ronald Doyon
