VHA Early Childhood Development Program Early Learning Activities and Resources for Families! They are: Janiece Michael-Schroeder, and Chulina Wheeler. To reach them:: 360-992-0204.

The Vancouver Housing Authority, in response to overwhelming requests and demand, collaborated with Bridgeview, with the help of Vancouver Public Schools, and ESD112, to form an alliance to help families in Clark County/Vancouver, WA get the resources and things they need to prepare their children for Kindergarten. The goal of the VHA Early Childhood Development Program is to connect families having children between the ages of 0-5 (pre-school), with resources (such as activities, early learning organizations, language barrier assistance, and more!); and information (what skills are best for your child to have before entering Kindergarten, when registration and Jump Start begins, parent support groups, where to go for help, and more!). In the interest of families, the VHA has also initiated the Advocate program, utilizing Early Learning Advocates available to assist you! Sharon Linn is also available for any questions or information you may need. Sharon can be reached at the Rise and Stars Community Center, or by phoning: 360-992-0205. Together, we can make a better future for our children.

Important Signs of a Great Daycare
Established Policies and Consistent Rules

Great daycares have written-down, well-established operating policies for small things like when they do circle time to more crucial rules like how to handle sick children or emergency situations. You don’t want a place that’s so inflexible you can’t do something like pack a special meal for your child, but you also don’t want one that’s so loose with their rules and policies that it can be confusing or feels unsafe.

Important Signs of a Great Daycare
Low Child-to-Caregivers Ratio and Low Employee Turnover

Look for 1:4 caregiver to child ratio for infants.
The more hands on deck, the better. You want to see a high amount of caregivers per group of children. And ideally, you’d have the same caregivers day in and day out. “It’s best if children stay with the same caregiver for at least a year,” says Krystal Rogers-Nelson, a parenting and child safety expert for A Secure Life. Consistency for your child goes a long way to maintaining a happy well-being.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has a useful chart that shows the recommended ratios for each age group and group size. For infants under 15 months old, with a group size of 8 or less, the ratio should be 1:4. For toddlers up to 2.5 years old with a group size of 10 or less, the recommended ratio is 1:4, and for preschool-aged kids up to 4 years old with a group size of 10 or less, the recommended ratio is 1:6.
