What is the difference between Parent Aware vs Child Care Provider?

AspectParent AwareChild Care Provider
CredentialsRequires specific quality ratings and training standardsRequires licensing and certifications based on state regulations
Work EnvironmentChild-focused, educational settings, often in licensed facilitiesVaries from home-based to center-based care environments
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by programs promoting quality early childhood educationUsed by licensed providers offering childcare services

Parent Aware is a quality rating system for early childhood programs, emphasizing educational standards and quality improvement. Child Care Providers are licensed professionals or facilities providing childcare services. While both serve young children, Parent Aware focuses on program quality ratings, whereas Child Care Providers are the service providers themselves.

What is a Parent Aware rating and what does a Parent Aware rater do?

Parent Aware is Minnesota’s Quality Rating and Improvement System for early childhood programs. A Parent Aware rater evaluates early learning and child care programs based on a set of standards that measure how well the program prepares children for school. The rater reviews documentation, observes classroom practices, and provides feedback to help programs improve quality. Programs that participate receive a rating from one to four stars, helping families make informed choices. The process supports continuous quality improvement in early childhood education.

How does a Parent Aware coach typically collaborate with early childhood educators to support quality improvement in childcare programs?

As a Parent Aware coach, you will work closely with early childhood educators by providing guidance, resources, and feedback tailored to each program's unique needs. Collaboration often involves onsite visits, regular check-ins, and facilitating professional development workshops. You'll help educators understand and implement Minnesota’s quality standards, set achievable goals, and track progress toward higher Parent Aware ratings. This role requires strong relationship-building skills and a supportive approach to encourage continuous improvement and positive outcomes for children.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Parent Aware Coach, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Parent Aware Coach, you need a background in early childhood education, knowledge of child development, and experience working with childcare providers or families. Familiarity with assessment tools, coaching frameworks, and data tracking systems is typically required, along with relevant certifications such as a bachelor's degree in early childhood or related fields. Excellent communication, active listening, and relationship-building skills are vital for supporting and guiding providers through quality improvement processes. These skills ensure effective coaching and help create high-quality early learning environments for children.

Hourly Wage: The hourly rate for this position is $17.25 - $19.75 per hour.The pay range listed here is what Steve & Kate's Camp in good faith anticipates offering for this job opening. Actual compensation offers within this range will depend on experience and other relevant business or organizational factors.

At Steve & Kate's Camp, we're pioneers in self-directed learning, and we're looking for meticulous multi-taskers with strong time-management skills to run our on-site food program. As a Food Ops staff member, you'll sharpen your inherent organizational skills, submit food orders, and maintain our kitchen and food service items using hygienic practices, all while doing meaningful work keeping hundreds of bellies full. Given the simplicity of the Food Program, there will also be opportunities to interact with campers, collaborate with interesting coworkers, and help with fun around camp. You won't be making meals (just preparing and serving), so there's no culinary experience required - it's totally fine if you don't own one of those silly chef's hats.

Job Responsibilities:

You'll spend most of your day preparing and serving and cleaning up snacks and lunch, ordering and managing food-service items and supplies, and maintaining all food-related equipment and spaces in sanitary conditions. Actual cooking will be very minimal since all of our entrees are ordered as fully prepared, and we'll teach you everything you need to know with our paid training and development program.

  • Do you have a love of food, even if you don't have professional experience preparing it?
  • Are you a fan of systems, organization, to-do lists, punctuality, and cleanliness?
  • Can you multitask like you're a Hollywood power agent all while keeping calm, level-headed, and nice? Especially the last one?
  • Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers, and parents fit in your comfort zone? If it is out of your comfort zone are you willing to grow in this area?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 yr. olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, if needed, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (at least lift up to 30 lbs)?

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Actively supervising campers
  • Maintaining an organized and approachable activity space
  • Ensure compliance with Camp Policies
  • Reporting & Recording details of notable concerns or incidents, and of injuries to campers, other staff members, or self
  • Keeping track and being aware of camper allergies and dietary restrictions
  • adding daily updates and photos to campers' profiles

How do you know if you're the right candidate?

  • Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you?
  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
  • Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old's bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40lbs)?
  • Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?

Job Requirements:

  • At least 18 years of agewith a high school diploma or GED
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp-age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting.
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)
  • ServeSafe Food Handler Certification (provided if needed)
  • By applying and accepting an offer, you are giving S&K permission to email or text you
