    Exclamation For your child's safety, please insist on qualifications for providers!

    PARENTS - Your Child's Safety - Please Insist On Qualifications For Providers!
    *Child Care Providers, Educators, Child Transporters, Nannies, Facilities*

    "It seems that in these days of economic challenge there is an increase in individuals jumping into this field with questionable qualifications or unrealistic claims, putting your Child at serious risk, for a cut rate. Regardless of how positive the Provider's intent may be, you as their Parent must demand high standards where your Child’s safety is concerned."

    * What person(s) will be in close contact with your Child (regularly or on occasion)?
    * RCMP criminal background checks?
    * First Aid?
    * Supervision, Transparency, Accountability?
    * Relevant Certifications?
    * Experience?
    * Insurance?
    * Business license?
    * How long in business?
    * References, referrals?
    * Vehicle suitability, safety, certifications, government commercial transport inspections?
    * Back up vehicles? Could your child be stranded somewhere? Vehicle properly equipped?
    * Can the vehicle survive an impact from another vehicle?
    * Driver certification, professional, ICBC manifest, health?
    * Documentation?

    Parents ~ Contact at least three sources before settling. Confirm any information or documentation officially and in person. After engaging a provider, check back routinely and drop in, off schedule on occasion. What could be more priceless than your child?
