Even while she worked part-time at a local restaurant, she kept the dream alive by caring for her sister\u2019s children on her days off.\r\n\r\nEventually, dreaming wasn\u2019t enough.\r\n\r\n\u201cI always knew I wanted to be licensed and have a day care of my own,\u201d Gloria said. \u201cI just didn\u2019t know how I was going to do it.\u201d\r\n<h2>Encontrar una United Way<\/h2>\r\nEl \u201cc\u00f3mo\u201d de Gloria vino con <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedwaysem.org\/es\/focus-areas\/education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ayuda de United Way<\/a>.\r\n\r\nUnited Way for Southeastern Michigan operates the Great Start to Quality <a href=\"https:\/\/greatstarttoquality.org\/wayne-oakland-macomb-resource-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centro de Recursos Wayne-Oakland-Macomb<\/a>. The Office of Great Start within the Michigan Department of Education funds the center. Great Start to Quality is Michigan\u2019s quality rating and improvement system for child care, preschool and school-age children\u2019s programs. The initiative supports early childhood providers in their efforts to improve their programs. It also helps parents find and choose quality programs that meet their children\u2019s needs.\r\n\r\nInitially, Gloria attended several free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatstarttoquality.org\/\">Un gran comienzo para la calidad<\/a> child care training sessions offered for license-exempt child care providers. Through grant funding provided by the state, Great Start to Quality formed cohorts in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties to help license-exempt providers improve their practices. In the fall of 2017, Gloria joined the Oakland County cohort.\r\n\r\nOver the months that followed, a quality improvement consultant that United Way hired as part of the Great Start to Quality program helped Gloria identify her areas for improvement and build goals. Gloria worked hard to build a home-based child care operation she could be proud of. And in 2018, she achieved her dream of becoming a licensed child care provider.\r\n<div id=\"attachment_13448\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1410px;\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-fluid wp-image-13448 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/unitedwaysem.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/United-Way-Care-Providers-Work-to-Build-Better-Child-Care-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"935\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13448\" \/>\r\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gloria Moyet encuentra alegr\u00eda en cuidar a los ni\u00f1os de su barrio de Pontiac, ayud\u00e1ndolos a aprender y crecer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Abordar una necesidad creciente<\/h2>\r\nHigh-quality child care facilities and preschools help children succeed in school and life. Yet only 50,000 of the 275,000 children under the age of 6 in the tri-county area are served by providers that are rated by Great Start to Quality.\r\n\r\n\u201cResearch has shown the that when children ages five and younger participate in a high-quality child care program, a foundation is created to ensure that children are healthy, thriving and ready to learn,\u201d said Carol Tresik, director of the Great Start to Quality Wayne-Oakland-Macomb Resource Center.\r\n\r\nGreat Start to Quality empowers families across Michigan to fairly compare high-quality child care programs. Families can search for quality-rated providers online and use the rating system to make informed decisions about care for their child.\r\n\r\nFor care providers, each Great Start to Quality Resource Center provides help, quality improvement supports, educational materials, professional development and training opportunities. Providers can participate in the 5-star quality rating and improvement system based on standards for care, safety, professional development and early learning.\r\n<h2>Crear un servicio de cuidado infantil de calidad<\/h2>\r\nGloria\u2019s facility \u2014 named Lil\u2019 Miya\u2019s Day Care in honor of her daughter \u2014 is a child\u2019s dream come true. Within its multi-colored walls, bins filled to the brim with toys help children learn and grow. The day care has quickly become a much-needed staple in Gloria\u2019s Pontiac neighborhood, where many parents were looking for reliable, quality care for their children.\r\n\r\nTasha Herron\u2019s 1-year-old, Amore, has been in Gloria\u2019s care for several months. According to Tasha, Gloria\u2019s facility gives her peace of mind.\r\n\r\n\u201cMy daughter loves it, and I feel good knowing she\u2019s in good hands,\u201d Tasha said. \u201c(Gloria\u2019s) communication is great, and I never have to worry about what\u2019s going on.\u201d\r\n\r\nGloria makes it all look easy. She stops to sip tea offered from one smiling toddler while assisting another with a ring-stacking toy. When a third child yells \u201cpotty!\u201d from across the room, Gloria is instantly on her feet to help. Moments later, she\u2019s playing dress-up. All the while she\u2019s keeping a close eye on the clock. It\u2019s almost lunchtime.\r\n\r\nThe buzz of activity stirred up by 12 children under the age of 5 might be overwhelming to some, but Gloria loves it. It\u2019s clear from their widening grins and joyful squeals that the children do, too.\r\n<div id=\"attachment_13449\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1410px;\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-fluid wp-image-13449 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/unitedwaysem.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/United-Way-Care-Providers-Work-to-Build-Better-Child-Care-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13449\" \/>\r\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-13449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">El desarrollo de los ni\u00f1os es fundamental en la guarder\u00eda Lil\u2019 Maya\u2019s Day Care, desde las actividades que se ofrecen hasta la accesibilidad de los juguetes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>De la visi\u00f3n a la realidad<\/h2>\r\nWith the help of the Great Start to Quality Wayne-Oakland-Macomb Resource Center, Gloria turned her dream into a plan. She\u2019s been able to make a huge amount of progress in a short period of time. This includes updates such as labeling bins to teach organization skills, lowering shelves so that children have more access and learning new safety techniques for infants and toddlers. Gloria has been able to quickly fill her facility to capacity by word-of-mouth referrals. She also continues to receive calls daily from parents who find her through the Great Start to Quality system.\r\n\r\nGloria\u2019s dreams continue to grow. She recently purchased a new truck with the Lil\u2019 Miya\u2019s Day Care logo emblazoned on the side, allowing her to host field trips. \u201cIt\u2019s all for my kiddos,\u201d she. She smiles ear to ear when talking about the children and about her future.\r\n\r\n\u201cNext step is for me to get my own building; maybe even two\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019ve learned so much and I just want to be able to share it with as many children as possible.\u201d\r\n\r\nTo learn more about the Great Start to Quality rating and improvement system, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatstarttoquality.org\/\">grancomienzoparaqualidad.org<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- end .container -->\r\n\r\n<\/section>","":null,"settings":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
