I use FDC too Tan, to give myself sometime for selfcare. I have a great lady who was a center manager. She only has 4 children a day so it is a great ratio. I met with several carers at their homes before I found my one. I watched them interact with the children and I had DD with me so I could she how she reacted and watch them interact with her. I would spend about an hour with each I would say. Lousie impressed me the most as she had a written phiosophy of care and showed me how she plans each day with different developmental stuff and play. She also has scrapbooks for each child where she does observations and tracks thier progress and work. DD had done some works of art!! Not bad for less than 12mths!!There is a set routine and rules and the children know that. There are a few things that we differ on but Louise has been prepared to accomodate my wishes and that is awesome. I have also had to loosen some of my standards but all in all I am thrilled with the way it works. I can see that DD has built a relationship with Louise as she starts babbling and waving when we park outside of a morning! As always hun PM if you wanna know more
