Abbotsford daycare centers: Finding Child Care – Abbotsford CCRR

Finding Child Care – Abbotsford CCRR

My friends all tell me how their children often got sick within the first year of attending child care. Is there anything I can do to prevent my child from getting sick so much?

Your friends are right, young children do get more than their fair share of illness when they attend child care. Children in child care environments have many more opportunities to come in contact with germs due to the number of children in the facility. Infants and toddlers want to touch and taste everything, this is how they learn.

Families and caregivers can limit the spread of germs in child care environments by practicing some preventative measures.

• Ask your child’s caregiver what sanitary procedures are in place. Does the caregiver wash toys daily, if not throughout the day, sanitizing with a diluted bleach and water solution or in the dishwasher?
• Do the soft toys, crib sheets, and blankets get cleaned weekly?
• Are parents and caregivers aware of appropriate diaper changing procedures?
• Do children and caregivers wash their hands routinely throughout the day, on arrival, after toileting, after coming in from outside play, before food preparation, eating and at the end of the day?
• Has your child had all the recommended immunizations prior to starting care?
• Finally, be respectful of the ‘sick child’ policies in the child care facility. A sick child coming to child care only encourages the spread of germs.

I am going back to work next month and am worried about sending my 2 year old to child care. Is there anything I can do to prepare my child and myself for this very big change in our lives?

First of all, you will want to find a child care setting that is right for your child. If your child is very outgoing then she may fit in very well with a larger group of children. Or your child may be one who gets overwhelmed very easily in a larger group setting and therefore a smaller setting or family child care setting would be more appropriate. You will want to choose a child care provider who will respect and support your ideas, who will provide a safe and healthy environment for your child and someone who will stimulate and nurture your child through their different stages of development. Once you have selected your child care provider and you are comfortable with the care she will be receiving you will want to introduce your child to the day care environment. Here are a few tips to help ensure this is a happy time in this change in your lives.

• Before the big day, plan on leaving her with someone for short periods of time and gradually getting to longer periods of time. Having these times where you are separate from each other will help her see that other adults in her life can take care of her and she can be safe and loved.
• Read stories to her about children going to child care. Our Early Childhood Development Resource Library has books on this subject.
• Take her to the child care setting you have chosen and let her explore both the inside and outside play areas while you are with her. This is also a great opportunity for her to get to know the other children and the child care providers who will be caring for her.
• Send a photo of your family with her on her first day and place it in a location she can easily access such as her cubby.
• Send her favorite stuffed animal or blanket to help her feel a connection to home.
• Whatever you do, do not leave without saying goodbye. Even if you know she will be upset. Leaving without saying goodbye can mean abandonment to her. Let her know you are happy with the situation, you love her and that you will be back for her.
• Ask about a gradual entry process. This is a process where you leave her for a short period of time and gradually increase the time spent. This is commonly done over the course of one week.

Can you please tell me which is the best day care to send my child to?

Child Care Resource & Referral programs can only provide you with referrals. We do not give out recommendations. The referrals are based on the information that you give to us which include, your name, address or the cross streets of the area where you would prefer the location of the child care, the ages of your children, whether you require full or part time care, approximate drop off and pick up times, and, if you have a school age child, the name of the school. We then match it up to the information that is given to us by the child care providers. Child Care Resource & Referral programs cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information nor the quality of child care. Once you have received the list of referrals you will want to conduct research of your own. See our page under the Parents and Families section on How to evaluate & choose a Child Care Provider. As well you will find more information in the booklet “A Parent’s Guide to Selecting Child Care” which provides you with helpful information and checklists regarding choosing child care that is right for you and your child.

District/Neighborhood: New City

Formal suits and shopping bags rule the streets of the New City until evening, when strappy dresses enter the arena. This is the central business district of the city, where small offices, boutiques, trendy restaurants and the chicest clubs are located. The architecture of some streets, for example, George Street, is an example of Georgian buildings: majestic townhouses, strict geometry of squares and statues full of self-respect give a special chic and symmetry to the area. A wonderful place for walking, which breathes healthy fuss almost at any time of the day. Wander through St. Andrew’s Square, which fills up with picnickers at lunchtime, and people-watch. The cellars of Hanover Street are full of colorful eateries, while the gloomy Rose Street feels like a hidden corner filled to the brim with quirky pubs and private shops.

Below expectation

Sep. 2022

We had high expectations of a historic Edinburgh pub. It’s a lovely bar and was busy – we had booked a meal on a Sunday evening in the restaurant upstairs. Seemed to be only one waiter running the show, but service was fast and efficient. However, the food was OK, nothing more. The steak and ale pie contained good quality steak, but it was drowned in gravy which wasn’t seasoned or tasty. The plowman’s platter was OK but unremarkable. Nice pub to visit, but given its heritage, we’d hoped for a bit more.

Gemütlicher Pub mit gutem Essen und guter Getränkeauswahl

2022 • For two

Sehr gemütlicher und hübscher Pub mit sehr gutem Essen. Die Bedienung, in unserem Fall die Barkeeper, da wir an der Bar saßen, war auch sehr nett und aufmerksam. Es gibt eine schöne Auswahl an Ales und eine super Auswahl an Whiskys. Das Essen war frisch zubereitet und mit Sicherheit kein “Dosenfutter”.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Well run bar with good pub food

May 2022

This is a very well run bar serving decent pub food and has a separate restaurant area upstairs . We ate in the bar area.
Well organized seating and hygiene arrangements during the period of “covid restrictions” and adhering to the “guidance” moving forward .
Service from our young Irish waiter/barman was great -he was friendly and engaging .Our food was really nice -steak sandwich with fries &side salad, & fish & chips .
Wine was nicely chilled. All you could really want for bar food.

Working abroad as an Au Pair at abbotsford Canada

Your daily routine should look something like this:

8:00 AM Prepared breakfast for the kids and packed lunch for school. During this time, I will prepare the children for the new day (get dressed, brush your teeth, make the beds).

8:15 – cleaning the kitchen while I take the kids to school. Then I’ll go to school, and you’ll have time to relax, walk around the local cafes (we have a lot of them near the house), go to the gym or whatever.

12:00 noon – lunch to be ready when I bring our youngest home from kindergarten. After that, you can do something fun with him, like play in the park, ride a bike (he loves it and can do it for hours!) or jump on the trampoline in the yard. There will be days when I pick it up and take it with me so that you can take more time for yourself or use this time to do daily chores around the house (organization, cleaning).

15:00 – snacks for children when they get back from school. At this point, everyone will participate in their “family contribution” with each family member doing chores around the house (children will have daily chores like unloading the dishwasher, cleaning the hallway, wiping the windows, etc.) You and I can come up with work schedules and update them as needed. I take the kids to activities if they have them while others can do their homework and read their books to you. We can also switch roles where you can take the kids to class from time to time and I stay at home with them to do their homework.

18:00 – we usually have dinner at this time. I like to cook and I can cook dinner, but if you also like to cook, then we can very well share this role. Our children love to help with cooking and baking and are very helpful in the kitchen.

6:30 pm – We’ll need your help with cleaning, as we usually start putting the kids to bed at this point. When the children get used to you, they may ask you to put them to bed, in which case we will stay and clean the kitchen.

As you can see from this illustrative schedule, the work is very dynamic – we will support each other. The most important factor for me is open communication. There are some days that will be exhausting and other days will be amazing – all I ask for is transparency so that we can help each other through difficult or busy days and celebrate wonderful days!

Special Requirements and Expectations:

It is important that you are ready to go at the start of the day. This means that the hair is combed and the morning routine is completed. As we expect this from children, we don’t want our Aupairs to be lounging around in pajamas on weekdays.

It is important that you be organized and structured and have a natural inclination to clean up after yourself and others, as this will be an integral part of your role in the family.

Sometimes in the evening my husband and I would like to go on a date, so you need to be at home with the kids. This will be communicated in advance and will not exceed your business hours during the week. If this happens, we will pay you extra for your time.

We would love to have you join the community. Our church has wonderful youth and adult groups where you can meet new people your age and make friends. It is important that you find a life outside of your family that brings you joy. We will support you by helping you find a community of friends and encourage you to explore our province with them. We look forward to open communication with you and encourage you to plan your weekend or evening activities with friends to get the most out of your stay here in Canada.
