5 Things to Look For in a Day Care
1. Look inside yourself.
Your qualities as a parent will determine what you’ll be happy with in a provider. Consider discipline, educational need, and work hours.
2. Look at your child.
Does he do well in large crowds or better one-on-one? Does he have medical needs that would necessitate a school nurse?
3. Call a referral service.
Most communities have a childcare referral service available. Childcare Aware is a national service (800-424-2246) that can offer information about providers in your area. Keep your mind open to all forms of childcare.
4. Conduct telephone interviews.
Call the providers whose information appeals to you. A brief over-the-phone interview can offer a multitude of information. Ask about: Experience/Training, Hours, Ratio, Rerferrals.
5. Schedule an onsite interview.
Look for the provider’s attentiveness to the children (including interaction with your child during the interview) and safety of the environment. Take a list of questions and things that are important to you. Talk with the children in care; do they seem happy?
