Child Care Facts for Surrey...did you know???

Surrey has BC’s largest child population and highest birth rate. The numbers continue to grow with over 76,000
children 0 – 12 years in Surrey. It is estimated that at least 50% of these children need full or part time child
care.

The average family income has plateaued and family debt levels are extremely high. In the past decade, the
need for multiple incomes has become significant for family survival. Approximately 14,450 children 0-12 in
Surrey are living in poverty; therefore affordable child care has been identified as essential to a poverty reduction strategy.

Child care spaces go vacant despite the high need for care because many families cannot afford the costs.
Child care fees are the second largest expense in a family’s budget.
Our fall training calendar is out and we encourage you to register soon as we have a great line up of workshops and
registration fills up quickly!! Don’t miss out on these great learning opportunities.
Enjoy the Fall and take some time to watch the leaves turn!!

Did you know?
The Surrey Fire Service is committed to ensuring that all of the citizens of Surrey,
especially our most vulnerable demographics, are protected by a functioning smoke
alarm. Ask yourself the following questions:

Do I have working smoke alarms in my home?

Does my smoke alarm sound when I push the test button?

Have I changed my smoke alarm(s) within the last 10 years?
If your answer to any of these questions is "no" and you live in a single-family
home, duplex or townhouse, you can ask the Surrey Fire Service to install a free smoke alarm.
HomeSafe Program
If you are unsure of the status of your smoke alarms, they can help you with that too. Ask the department for a
Homesafe Inspection. During the Homesafe Inspection, members of the department will:

check your smoke alarms

make cooking safety recommendations

check for safe use of electrical devices including extension cords and power bars

discuss candle, matches and lighter safety

go over your home fire escape plan

cover a variety of fire and general safety topics
There is no cost for a Homesafe Inspection. If your smoke alarms are not working, they will install a new alarm for free.
At the end of the inspection, they will provide you with a written record of our findings and recommendations. This
record is for your use only and does not carry any legal obligations.

NEW! Subsidy Claim Forms For all Licensed Child Care Providers Are Now Online!
1. Child Care Subsidy Claim forms are not being mailed out to licensed child care providers as the Ministry for
Children and Families has created a Service Provider Portal link, which is the preferred method for submitting
claims as it will save much paper and time for all concerned.
The following is the Service Provider Portal link:
http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/family-social-supports/caring-for-young-children/running-daycarepreschool/service-provider-portal-child-care-providers.
CCRR has been advised that should licensed child care providers come and request claim forms, we are to
refer them to this website to sign up for online billing. No more claim forms – just sign in, enter your billing
and payments go to direct deposit (if you are set up for direct deposit) within 5 business days.
The following is the link to the direct deposit forms for child care providers who are interested in having
their child care subsidy payments immediately deposited to your bank account (Note: ALL child care
providers can have payments directly deposited, not just licensed child care providers):
http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/family-social-supports/caring-for-young-children/running-daycarepreschool/child-care-subsidy
Another feature of this portal is that you will have access anytime, which gives you the ability to see
approved Benefit Plans without having to call the Child Care Subsidy office or wait for the approved Benefit
Plan in the mail.
2. Child Care Subsidy Request to Renew is a new simplified form to make the renewal process easier for families.
When a family’s benefit plan is about to end they will receive a reminder notice and a renewal form from Child Care
Subsidy that they need to renew their application. When caregivers receive a copy of the benefit plan they should
make a note of the date and a month prior to the date they should remind the family that it is time to send in a
renewal form. If for some reason a family doesn’t have the renewal form you can get one from child care options.

Confessions of a Play-Based Teacher
Written by Denita Dinger of Play Counts I haven't always had the correct understanding of what "play-based" meant. And I didn't always support children
more than I supported the system.
I believed..... that "play-based learning" simply meant children learned through playful activities, not sit-down
worksheets.
I believed..... that I was a "play-based" program because:
1.
I didn't do any worksheets in my program.
2. All of the ways children learned were, arguably, PLAY.
3. I thoughtfully considered what my littles were interested in when I sat down in August and wrote out nine
months worth of lesson plans.
I believed .....the following were MY JOBS in order to run a "play-based" program:

I set up the hands-on, play-based stations.

I demonstrated each station so the children would know the correct thing to do at each one.

I decided how many children could be at each station.

I decided how long children would be allowed to explore each station.

I decided what letter we would be learning about each week, and would plan activities around the letter.

I chose the themes that either lasted one or two weeks (depending on how much I thought the children would
enjoy each theme).

I decided how many materials to set out.

I worked hard to avoid conflict.

I solved problems for children (again, to avoid conflict).

I made sure all children were busy doing something, out of fear they would be bored.

I made sure the blocks stayed in the block zone, and the books in the book nook.

I stopped children from doing anything that was even slightly risky.

I pulled each child aside periodically to "test them" to make sure that, even with all of this "play" they were still
learning what they "needed" to know.
I believed… the following was the children's job:

Listen to me and follow my lead.
That was then.... and this is now:
Thanks to a very lengthy journey, and some hard work busting through my stubbornness, my belief system
changed, and with that, the depth of learning that happened in my program changed drastically.
I finally GOT IT. It was like I got brand new eyes.
What I was doing before was TEACHER-CONTROLLED, PLAYFUL LEARNING...... NOT to be confused with PLAYBASED LEARNING.
I Now Believe.... "play-based learning" means children learn through THEIR play; child-led, adult-ideas-out,
PLAY. NOT to be confused with teacher-led playful learning (which is what I was doing before). Con’t next page... Fall 2016
childcareoptions.ca
page 12
...con’t from page 12

Enjoy their freedom of time, technique and task.
I Now Believe.... I am a "play-based program" because:
1) There still are no worksheets in my program
2) Children lead their learning through their play.
3) The "plan" for the next day doesn't get written until
TODAY is over. The plan for tomorrow is directly related
to where my littles led me TODAY. The plan only includes
the setting up of the environment, and the gathering of
materials. There is no "here is what we are going to do" in
OUR plan at.all.

Assess and manage risk.

Play freely (not to be confused with "free play").
Do I feel like I have "arrived" and have nothing more to
learn? Oh goodness no! I don't feel there is ever a true
destination in the world of early childhood education.
There is always something to be learned, something to
change, something to improve upon.
But what I do feel like is I am NOW running a program that
supports CHILDREN, not the system and the grossly
Be in the moment with children. Thoughtfully listening inappropriate expectations being placed on them.
and observing, jumping in only when invited.
Denita will be a keynote and workshop presenter at the 2017
I Now Believe... the following are my jobs:


Following the lead of children and adjusting the
environment accordingly.

View play through a lens that respects the learning
that is buried deep within.

Keep the environment free from hazards
(NOTE: Hazards are dangers children CANNOT
see. RISKS are dangers children CAN see and CAN
assess and manage).
Children the Heart of the Matter Conference in February.
I Now Believe.... the following are the jobs of the children:

Freely explore the materials in the environment and
use them as they choose to do tasks of their choosing
as well.

Own discoveries.

Ask for what materials they need.

Decide how many children they would like to play
with at any given time.

Work hard to manage conflicts.

Solve problems.

Learn through failing.

Pick themselves up.

Work together.

Lead with their own interests.

Demonstrate what they know, (unbeknownst to them),
through their play.

Cross pollinate all of the toys.

Sit and stare into space, full of wonders.

Embrace boredom and figure out what to do next.
