Evaluating childcare providers (for parents)
Choosing a daycare for your child is an important decision. Your little one will spend all day in someone else’s care: not only are they getting their physical needs met - nourishment, sleep, potty/diapering - but, even more importantly, they develop motor, cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Before the child is even 3 years old, their brain undergoes major developments, so choices now may have lifelong consequences.
My daughter was so young and tiny when I needed a daycare for her, that I was worried literally about everything.
