Tips on Choosing Child Care
- What are your first impressions?
- How many children are in the program? Do they seem happy in their activities?
- Does the staff seem to be enjoying their work?
- Is equipment accessible to children to select?
- Does the staff have education relevant to working with young children?
- What is the discipline philosophy? Does it agree with yours?
- Is there a planned program to encourage children’s individual development?
- Are parents encouraged to visit?
- Is there adequate space for active play indoors and out?
- Does the facility appear safe? (Fenced yard, no broken equipment, etc.)
