Some of the helpful articles inside include a cover story on the importance of insurance to cover your business, even if you are a family child care provider.
Did you know?We've added a new feature to our referral service. You can now provide us with up to five photos highlighting your child care program, and these will be shared with families who are searching for child care. Have a fabulous playground? A gorgeous mural in your entry way? A dramatic play area that's really special? Share the photos and let parents see what sets your program apart.
- You may need a separate rider on your homeowners insurance policy to cover the equipment you use for child care.
- Your policy may only cover the current value of your supplies. Be sure your coverage will pay you the replacement cost of anything lost or damaged.
To update your program information with us, and to share your photos, go to our online update page. Drawings will be held quarterly, and one lucky person who has updated their information will earn a prize valued at $25 or more!
The newsletter insert from our Eastern Region agency, the LUME Institute, includes a great article about helping children learn to read. Some of their suggestions for promoting future reading success are:
- Setting a good example by reading in front of children of all ages.
- Reading environmental print (signs, menus, labels, etc...) aloud to children.
- Playing rhyming word games with young children.
The Family Conservancy, our Western Missouri agency, has information in their insert about how their staff, who are certified as National Playground Safety Inspectors can help you renovate, expand, or simply update your outdoor play environment. They can offer trainings, on site inspections, or consultations to help your playground be all that it can be.
For all the details on these articles and many others, be sure to read our full Fall 2011 newsletter!
