Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is prohibited from ranking, endorsing, or promoting agencies or organizations listed in the Child Care Resources Handbook. Introduction. In today's society, more and more families are relying on some type of child care arrangement in order to meet the competing demands of work and family. In 1. 99. 7, 2. 9. U. S. In more than half of these families, either both parents worked or the family was headed by a single working parent. Three out of five mothers with children under age six work outside the home. Whether by choice or by necessity, balancing the competing demands of work and child care is one of the most challenging undertakings that a family can have. The Child Care Resources Handbook is intended to introduce you - employers and employees - to a number of organizations and resources that can help you meet that challenge. This handbook was developed to provide practical tips on how to find child care and places to call for further information on related topics, such as, obtaining financial assistance. The Handbook includes questions to ask during the initial telephone screening and a checklist of things to observe when visiting child care centers or homes. It also provides several directories of resources around the country that can help parents learn about child care, including: Local child care referral agencies; Federally sponsored child care centers; Financial assistance for low income parents; State resource and referral network contacts; and. Federal organizations. The U. S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is committed to supporting Federal programs that assist employees who are caring for children, as well as providing work and family personnel flexibilities that help balance these responsibilities. OPM wishes to acknowledge the contributions of the U. S. General Services Administration in providing input for federally sponsored day care centers. The Federal Government has focused on providing readily available and useful information about child care. Over fifteen Federal agencies contribute information to Childcare. A companion site, Afterschool. Back to Top. Types of Child Care. Choosing a child care arrangement is a very personal decision for parents. It is one of the most important decisions a parent can make since the care children receive influences their future development. There are three basic types of child care: child care centers, child care homes, and child care in your own home. This section describes these basic types and also outlines some additional child care programs that may be available in your community: before and after school care; vacation and summer programs; sick child/back- up/emergency care; part- day preschool programs and nursery schools; programs for children with special needs; and the Head Start Program. Child Care Centers. A child care center provides care for groups of children by a staff of caregivers. The staff have some type of early childhood education training. Centers are generally licensed by the state. Centers are either privately operated for profit by a chain or individual, or operated by non- profit agencies, such as churches, public schools, government agencies, or non- profit vendors. These homes are registered or licensed in most States. The caregiver may be a baby- sitter, a professional . Parents need to check references carefully. When using in- home care, you become an employer, which requires special considerations. As an employer, you are responsible for Federal Unemployment Insurance and Social Security taxes. In many States you must provide Workers' Compensation and State Unemployment Insurance. Before and After School Care. There are various options for before and after school care. Programs in your community may be operated by child care centers, recreation centers, churches, and youth organizations, such as Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), Boys Clubs of America, Girls Inc., and Camp Fire, Inc. In many communities, schools provide after school care, sometimes called . The resource and referral agencies listed in this publication will assist you in finding before and after school care. In addition, the School- Age Child Care Project of the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women and Project Home Safe located in the Federal Organizations section of this publication can provide you with booklets and other information on finding school- age care for your child. Vacation and Summer Programs. Vacation and summer programs are usually for school- age children, although in some areas they are also available for preschool children. These programs provide a variety of activities such as arts and crafts, swimming, drama, and organized sports. Vacation or summer programs are often operated by the local parks and recreation departments, community organizations, and child care centers. Sick Child/Back- Up/Emergency Care. All children get sick from time to time. Most child care centers have policies about sick children and very few allow children with contagious diseases to attend. Some day care centers set aside space to care for mildly ill children. These centers usually have a nurse on staff or on call. The need for such sick child day care centers has produced many centers opened around the country. To find out if there is a center in your area, contact the National Association of Sick Child Day Care Centers, (2. Caregivers also can get sick. Child care centers generally make arrangements for substitutes when a caregiver is ill; however, if you choose a child care home, you will need to ask if the caregiver has plans for someone to care for your child when the caregiver is sick. It is a good idea to plan for back- up care. When looking for back- up care, you may want to consider child care centers and homes, neighbors, close friends, or local college students. Discuss your needs for back- up care with potential providers beforehand to be sure they will be available when you need them. It is a good idea to complete the necessary documents and decide on any fees before you need the back- up care. Part- day Preschool Programs and Nursery Schools. Part- day preschool programs and nursery schools are group child care programs which operate less than a full day. These programs are located in a variety of settings, including churches, public schools, and child care centers. State licensing regulations may be different for programs operating less than a full- day schedule. This type of care, generally for children two and a half to five years of age, provides an opportunity for interaction with other children of similar ages. These programs usually follow the same academic year and holiday schedules as the public schools. Programs for Children with Special Needs. Finding child care for children with disabilities can be especially challenging for parents. However, information and assistance is available from national and community organizations and parent groups to make the search easier. One of the organizations that can help parents of special needs children find child care is the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities (NICHCY). NICHCY can send you free of charge two very useful publications, A Parent's Guide: Accessing Programs for Infants, Toddlers, and Pre- schoolers with Disabilities and A Parent's Guide: Accessing Parent Groups. NICHCY can also send you a State Resource Sheet that lists the addresses and phone numbers of the agencies and organizations in your State that can assist parents of children with disabilities, and a National Resource Sheet that lists addresses and phone numbers of the national disabilities organizations and clearinghouses. NICHCY's toll- free phone number is 1- 8. It is also important to note that regardless of your child's specific disability; you may always call the local office of any of the national disabilities organizations, such as United Cerebral Palsy Association, National Down Syndrome Society, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Spina Bifida Association of America, and March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation. The staff of these and other disability organizations generally know about the services provided in their communities and can usually help parents even if their child has a disability different from the one that is the focus of the organization. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers child care centers and family day care homes. Information about the requirements of the ADA, as well as informal guidance in understanding and complying with the ADA, can be obtained by contacting the U. S. Department of Justice, Public Access Section of the Civil Rights Division, P. O. Box 6. 67. 38, Washington, DC 2. Head Start Program. Head Start is a nationwide federally funded early childhood program for low- income preschool children, primarily ages three to five. It is designed to provide comprehensive services in preparation for public school. Services include cognitive and language development, medical, dental, mental health, nutritional, and social services. The program places particular emphasis on parental involvement. For information about specific eligibility requirements, contact your local department of social services. Back to Top. Determining the Quality of Child Care. Matching the needs of your child and your own needs with the childcare available is a time- consuming process. It often takes extra time and effort to find high quality care. This section can help you to find high quality care by explaining the role of licensing. Licensing. Licensing indicates that state standards have been met. Most States regulate child care centers by licensing; some States also license child care homes.
