 The Coalition for Children
Resource Directory
The intent of this directory is to assist families with young children as they look
for childcare programs, services, and activities in our Upper Cape
Community. All of the following is public information and is not presented with any
personal recommendation from The Coalition for Children. For more info, visit our
website: www.thecoalitionforchildren.org

The Coalition for Children is a MA state Coordinated Family and Community

Engagement Grant (CFCE). (There are 90 CFCE grants in the state of
Massachusetts.) All CFCE programs are community specific, all provide
programs and services in adherence to the five Strengthening Families tenants:

1. Increase knowledge of and accessibility to high-quality early education & care

programs and services for families with children prenatal through school-age.

2. Promote parent education, family engagement and early literacy.

3. Facilitate collaboration and community planning between local early education

and care partners and other community stake holders, including parents.

4. Provide support and information to families with children transitioning between

and among early education and care settings, home and school, and

5. Support early education and care programs across the public and private sectors

in delivering high-quality services.

The Coalition for Children is guided by an active council of childcare

professionals and specialists, collaborative program partners and parents, and
business community members. A network of lifelong learners, we are committed
to the education of all members of our community, with particular emphasis on
quality early childhood programming and family supports. To become a member
of The Coalition for Children, please call 508-548-0220.

Choosing Childcare

Picking the right early childhood program for your child is an

important task. There are many choices for parents and guardians
and the process of making that decision can be complex. The choices
include family daycare, center based childcare, parent co-ops, and
public schools. These early childhood programs may be large or
small, profit or non-profit.

As each childcare program is different, so is each family seeking

care. A visit to several programs can help in the decision making
process. Ask as many questions as you need to, to ensure a good fit.

Please note that there are many licensed childcare providers in the
Upper Cape region offering childcare for infants, preschoolers, and
school-age children. For a current list, visit the Early Education &
Care website: www.mass.gov/topics/early-childhood-education-care

Things to keep in mind when choosing a provider:

Provider Qualifications (Education and Experience)
Hours of Operation
Policy for Holidays/Vacation
Food/Meals Provided
Nap time policies
Schedule of the activities
Outside Play
How the provider will communicate with parents/ guardians
Safety and Medical Policies
Cost and Payment Policies
Behavioral Management Policies

While your child is attending a program, it is essential to

communicate with the provider. Be sure to let them know how your
child is doing at home and how they are transitioning. If you have
any questions or concerns, be sure to address them immediately.

 Be Prepared!
Would you be ready if there were an emergency?

#1 Get an Emergency Kit!

If disaster strikes your community, you might not have access to food,
water, or electricity for some time. By taking time now to prepare
emergency water supplies, food supplies and a disaster supplies kit, you
can provide for your entire family.

#2 Make an Emergency Plan!

Make plans with your family and friends in case you're not together
during an emergency. Discuss how you'll contact each other, where
you'll meet, and what you'll do in different situations. Read how to
develop a Family Disaster Plan at www.bt.cdc.gov/preparedness/plan OR
fill out the Homeland Security Family Emergency Plan at 
www.ready.gov/emergency-planning-checklists

#3 Be Informed!
Being prepared means staying informed. Check all types of media—
websites, newspapers, radio, TV, mobile and land phones—for global,
national and local information. During an emergency, your local
Emergency Management Division will give you information on things
such as open shelters and evacuation orders.
