Many parents believe that once their child is happy, no scrapes and the child care center is clean that is enough. However, there are other factors that are important to ensure health, safety and assist with developmental milestones.
A note: when looking for child care program please make sure you can clearly see on a bulletin board (in the hall or classroom):
-staff credentials
-emergency evacution plan
-parent information
-health & safety information (hand washing)
-poison hotline number
-daily schedule
-certificate of fitness
-fire extinguishers (in the classroom and hallways)
-child care license from the department of health
-are meals prepared daily or is a hot meal delivered
-emergency procedure
-do they administer medication (MAT)
-Ask what type of training the teacher has within the infant room
Also find out how they help develop social, emotional and cognitive skills.
