Before Your Decision

• Schedule a Visit: Some day care centers provide a clean environment for children, while others are in dire need of an upgrade. You should also look inside to take a look at the interior and familiarize yourself with the employees.
• Review Accreditation: Accreditation is a means to verify the quality of a day care center. A few accreditation organizations are the the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC), the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA), and the National Association of Young Children (NAEYC).
• Calculate Adult-to-Child Ratio: A critical part of day care is not having too many children for each member of the staff. If you are taking an infant to day care, shoot for a ratio of four children for each adult. One adult for every ten children is the accepted standard for four-year-olds.

After Your Decision

• Meet Regularly: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with the day care staff. This will provide an opportunity to ask questions about your child's behavior, what they are learning, and what is going on at the facility.



• Volunteer: Many day care centers offer volunteer appointments to parents. This could involve reading to the children during the day or cleaning rooms or repairing toys during the hours when children are gone.



• It's OK to Change Your Mind: If you have a change of heart about the center you have chosen, it's fine to choose a new one. Don't let a difficult conversation get in the way of your child's safety.
