Looking for child care near you can feel like a big task. We’re here to make it easier. When you’re checking out daycares, preschools, or child care centers, visit in person and ask questions. Read on for six tips to help you compare your options.
Ask us how to save on child care. We accept financial aid, government help, and some work benefits. We’ll help you with the forms so your child can get started and stay enrolled.
Choosing child care near home helps build your community. Look for a school that lets you pick days and times that work for your family.
The school you choose should follow strong health and safety rules. Classrooms should be clean. Meals should be safe and healthy, even for kids with allergies. Teachers should care deeply about your child’s wellbeing. We do all of that and more. Our schools have earned the WELL Health-Safety Rating, which means they’re clean, safe places where your child will thrive.
In your child’s first five years, they’re growing fast in every way! Ask how the school helps kids build skills like reading, sharing, and making friends.
Great teachers and staff love connecting with kids, and with you. Ask to visit the classroom your child would join. You’ll see how our teachers meet every child where they are, from the shy and curious to the outgoing, always-moving kiddo! They know just how to get kids engaged in classroom activities, and prepare them for what’s next.
Make sure the school is licensed—it shows they’re doing things right when it comes to safety and care. Want extra peace of mind? Ask if they’ve been reviewed by outside experts. That kind of approval means the teachers, classrooms, and curriculum all meet high standards for your child and your family.
If a school does well in all six areas, it might be the right fit for your family! When you visit us, we think you’ll feel confident about joining our warm and welcoming community. When you’re ready to get started, we’re here to help you enroll!
