Environment Visit / Assessment


I will come to your child care program, do an assessment and make suggestions and recommendations to enhance your environment, if needed.  An environment consists of two main areas, one quiet and cozy, the other for free-play activities and noise. A nurturing environment should include age / developmentally appropriate toys, books, puzzles, activities, themed areas, cultural diversity, small and large motor skill activities and early literacy materials (art, math, science, language, music, etc.). Health and safety guidelines and regulations should also be imposed.  Send an email request or call (707) 428-3180 to schedule your appointment.  There is no fee for this appointment.


The Professional Provider


SCA also offers family child care providers the opportunity to develop a professional image by reading “The Professional Provider”. This book provides valuable information to family child care providers about self image, good health, retirement information, tax issues, professional growth development, insurance protection, business start-up, marketing ideas, contracts, etc. Learn firsthand the strategies and techniques that providers experience and use daily to operate a child care business. Know the types of relationships to have with families enrolled in your program. Make record keeping simple for yourself, by utilitzing the forms that are included.  Remember, you will not learn any of this information in a formal class setting!   Become the professional provider, order your copy now!
