Choosing good child care is an important decision. Safe and positive child care sets the stage for healthy growth and development. It takes time, patience, and an understanding of what to look for when selecting child care.

Learn about different child care options and visit programs before making a decision. Call and make an appointment. Look around the child care setting carefully. Watch how the children and adults interact with one another. Ask questions. Listen. Talk to parents who use the program.

Once you have selected a child care program and your child is in care, keep asking questions. Always check to make sure the program still meets the needs of your family. It’s a lot of work, but your child is worth it.
