Take time to visit some child care programs, look around, and ask lots of questions. Find out ahead of time what the care will be like.
Good caregivers are eager to get new information.
Make sure that you are welcome to visit at any time. See if the caregiver is warm and friendly. Find out how much and what kind of experience the provider has working with children. Check to see if the child care program is registered or licensed. Cleaning materials, medicines, and any guns, weapons, and ammunition will be in locked cabinets away from child care spaces.
