The name of the company I have chosen is Cottrell Home Day Care which is a family owned business licensed by my mother Bobbie Cottrell who is the director of the company. Cottrell Home Day Care Center is an existing home-based child care center. We offer premium full-day childcare services to families in the Western portion of the Humboldt park community and the eastern portion of the Austin community in Chicago, IL. Childcare services are available for youth from 6 weeks to 12 years old. We are currently servicing 10 children. There are many keys to our success such as: 1) we have an experienced management team and 10 years of operating history; 2) we are in a high demand area for children; 3) we service predominately low-income families, in which the state pays for the majority of care on a timely basis; 4) we have strong community partners, and; 5) we are a small center and are able to provide children and families with a more intimate learning environment.

Cottrell Home Day will be training in the areas of safety and quality care. The employees who will be in attendance are the three day care provider assistants. The director of the company Bobbie Cottrell will be involved in creating the training. A specialist from the Illinois Department of Children Services will provide the training.

The main purpose and goal of the training is to make sure all of the assistants are proficient in the following areas of safety and quality: the day care itself, toys children use for their amusement, the children’s sleeping areas, assurance that nutrition meals are being prepared safely as well as fire drill standards are being met, and making sure all children immunizations shot records are up to date, and learning materials are aged appropriate.
