Many centers appreciate parents helping out as playground supervisors. Ask your child every day about what happened at day care. The staff fails to answer your questions and address your concerns. There is no way for parents to be involved in the day-care practices. Your child tells you about problems or is not happy with his or her day care experience.
Unexplained accidents happen more than once.
The staff changes often. The management can't offer you a written copy of the day-care policies. Other parents tell you about problems or concerns with the day-care center. If you suspect there are problems, contact the state agency that governs day care centers. This handout provides a general overview on this topic and may not apply to everyone.
