What Does Great Child Care Look Like?

26 Apr What Does Great Child Care Look Like?

Choosing child care is one of the most important decisions a family makes. You want your child in a safe, caring environment that is regulated and where your child will be engaged in learning and embraced as the individual he or she is. Let Child Care Resources help you identify some aspects of high quality care.

What to look for in your search for quality child care:

Play And Learn

A quality child care provider guides children, helping them to get along with others in caring positive ways, and encourages you to be involved as well.

Tip: Look for a provider who is enthusiastic, attentive and encouraging.

Environments

A quality child care environment is safe, clean and provides children with many learning opportunities.

Tip: Look for a setting where the children are always supervised, nutritious meals and snacks are served, and toys and learning activities are based on the age of the child.
