I was originally going to complete my service learning project at Kitchen for the Poor, located at 650 Vance St in Toledo, Ohio.

Momee’s Daycare is owned and operated by Renee Bowen, and her location is at 756 Wenz Rd. in Toledo, Ohio. Her company has five employees, situated in the proprietor’s home.
Child care is a rewarding and yet demanding career. These demands come from an abundance of sources: consistent changes to rules and regulations, requests from parents, and the forever evolving needs of a child in your care. Not only should these demands help solidify you as a growing early childhood professional, there are also plenty of other demands that can significantly affect your career choice. These include educational levels, levels of hands-on training, personal interests, family obligations, values, abilities, and your individual professional priorities.

...onomy. Day care can be a positive option for parents seeking help with child care. It is self-assuring for many parents that are struggling to raise a family while balancing job security, to know that there are a variety of options out there for the watching of children. As with any difficult task, the monitoring of child safety concerns should stay primarily as a parent’s number one responsibility and concern. Today there is government help and assistance by providing mandatory safety and ethics requirements that are enforced through safety-regulatory agencies and through inspections for compliance for the purpose of licensing approval. It is a welcome thought for parents to know that they may be doing their children a favor in using a day care, by helping their young ones become better prepared for kindergarten and giving them an opportunity to learn new skills.
On September 22, 2014, I had my first visit to my service-learning site, Red Caboose. As I volunteered at this site through Badger Volunteers, I arrived with three other girls who were my team members. When we arrived the executive director buzzed us in and met us at the door. She gave us a tour of the building which ended in her office where she spent about an hour going over the volunteer information, rules and regulations.

Every teacher has this potential whether they are aware of it or not. I have been a teacher for nine years in early childhood education and within those nine years I have become very aware of how powerful the smallest act of caring can turn a person’s life around or even just make someone’s day a little better. Being a preschool teacher has brought me great pleasure to my life simply brightening a child’s day and knowing that I am making a difference in their life. Through my journey as a teacher I have thought about how I can advance in my career field and still be active with children on a daily basis and continue making a difference in each child’s life as well as their parents. With plenty of thought and research I have come to the conclusion and gained the interest to become a preschool and childcare director.
Recruiting, identifying and hiring qualified additional staff is crucial to the expansion and sustainability of the daycare center. Though it must adhere to state requirements for each of it’s staff, except the Office Paraprofessional, hiring those who share the values and mission of the daycare center is paramount. The care and education of children is the primary goal and must be the foundation of the staffing process. “Recruitment should be a continuous process of review, reflection and evaluation to employ and retain skilled and experienced child care professionals. Successfully implemented, recruitment processes can assist services to provide quality outcomes for children, families and child care professionals, and promote a commitment to continuing improvement” ("Recruiting Childcare Professionals," n.d.).

While most daycare centers try to stay open until the evening hours to accommodate parents who work during the day, it's not as easy to find a center that is open 24 hours a day. If you work various shifts, finding a babysitter can be challenging when you have to work overnight. Fortunately, there are some daycare centers that are open 24/7 so you can drop off your kids when you have to work nights or weekends. Here are a few advantages of this type of child care.
Schwartz (1983) investigated how length of day-care attendance correlated to attachment behavior in eighteen-month-old infants.

It was January 2002. I was walking home from Newton Street School. I heard loud strikes of thunder, I saw the grayish black sky above me, and I felt my heart coming through my shirt. As we scampered home my mom looked down at me and said, “Baby you know that I love you no matter what, right?” I was just 5 years old so I was clueless to what exactly was going on. I nodded my head in uncertainty and told my mother I loved her more. Just as we arrived to my house located on Bedford Street, my mom began to cry. “Mommy what’s wrong? “ I asked. She just mourned the entire time. I followed my mother into the living room until I came across 2 large suitcases centered on the dining room floor with my favorite teddy bear sitting next to them. I began
I worked for a friend once, and I thought it was the best decision I had ever made. The job was going to be babysitting her kids as often as she needed. Not just one or two kids, but three children, of various ages. I was a little anxious because it was my first job after high school, but I was excited to get started. Without having any experience with kids, I thought to myself , “How simple it was going to be babysitting three kids” I was wrong. It was difficult, and I gave up so much of my time for this friend without getting much in return. Choosing to babysit a friends children caused so many problems. I would have never imagined my first job experience being so dreadful. Working for a friend was a discouraging experience, because I did not have
