Identify priorities

• There are family day care, child care centers, in-home facility, specialty care and more – decide what you want. Is it a center near work you’re looking for?

• Or something convenient around your home? Do you seek a big center with lots of kids to accompany your child? Or a private facility for undivided attention?

• Ask these questions and set priorities so as to narrow down your search.

Spread the word

• Let people know you’re looking for a babysitting service or center and gather personal references and recommendations from family and friends.

Where do I start?

Teacher-to-child ratios

• A good daycare would conduct active and constant supervision to watch children at all times. Enquire about caregiver-child ratios and the group size to ensure one-on-one attention and good care of your child.

What facilitates and features do I look for in available options?

Accreditation

• Checking whether the potential center is licensed or registered with the local government bodies is crucial to ensure your child is in safe hands.

• A licensed center would meet the highest standards of safety and health set by local government.

A Learning environment

• Apart from a clean and safe ambience, expect lots of activities that promote verbal and physical interaction, knowledge-friendly games and age-appropriate toys to encourage learning and social and mental development of your child.

• Some other considerations that can help achieve a positive day care experience include staff schedules (daily and weekly), policy check, teacher and staff credentials and fee and services. Remember, there’s a multitude of kindergartens, private pre-schools, and child care settings to easily get confused.

Considering the above mentioned aspects would help find just the right one for your child.
