The DCFCCA Mentor Program may be for you! Family child care
professionals, by the nature of their work, are primarily home bound. As
a result, feelings of isolation are common. In addition to isolation, child
care professionals tend to experience situations that can only be
understood by other persons performing the same type of work. A large
number of caring, patient people abandon the profession due to these
feelings of isolation and frustration thus causing a shortage of quality
care for children. These results prompted the DCFCCA Mentor Program.
Our focus is on providing quality child care for every family in Dakota
County. There are two programs within the DCFCCA Mentor Program.
The first is the Provider Care Line Mentoring program. This program
is a phone network of experienced family child care professionals who are
willing and able to answer questions for other caregivers. This network is
available to any Dakota County family provider who is in need of
assistance. This program is generally used for those providers who only
have a couple of questions. Persons choosing to be Provider Care Line
Mentors would serve in an ongoing capacity and their name and number
would be published in our newsletter.
The second is the One on One Mentoring program. This program is a
one on one relationship between an experienced provider and an
inexperienced provider, focusing on the needs of the inexperienced
provider. This program is generally for providers who would like more
guidance. Those persons serving as mentors will be trained in the
principles of an effective mentor and will receive guidance in sharing in the
professional growth of newly licensed family child care providers.
If you are newly licensed and are interested in being mentored or you
have been licensed for awhile and you have the wisdom to share with new
providers, please click the appropriate link below.
