Good communication between adults is a must for successful team building. Studies indicate that parents choose a daycare center because of staff excellence. A beautiful building, innovative toys and materials, and a people-oriented director cannot, by themselves, cause a childcare program to be successful. The staff makes the difference between a quality program and a poor program. Centers with caring, knowledgeable, loving teachers do not need to advertise.
Word of mouth keeps a waiting list long at quality childcare programs.
If you are new in town, and have not heard anything, ask local pediatricians, elementary school personnel, your employer, church members, pastors, neighbors and new friends. Another possible indicator of quality is cost. High fees do not always indicate good childcare. Good child care is never cheap. You should ask how your fees are utilized.
