How to find care that fits your family
Two simple steps.
1 · Know what you're looking for
Think about the type of care (center, family child care home, or preschool), a location near home or work, the hours you need, and your budget.
2 · Visit and ask questions
Tour each program, meet the teachers, and ask about ratios, curriculum, and parent references before you decide.
