Use this sample and step by step explanation for setting meaningful and inspiring employee performance goals for a child care provider.

A child care provider is responsible for nurturing, supervising and caring for children from the age of 6 weeks to 5 years. They do so for those parents who will want the services while they attend other issues. They engage the children in various activities throughout the day to keep them busy and occupied.

Besides the primary function, they also perform the following tasks; take children to field trips, report any form of behavior whether good or bad to the parents on a daily basis, ensuring that children have the necessary supplies such as toys and organize activities that will stimulate them both physically and intellectually.
