Selecting Quality
Child Cate
Have you ever spent $2OOO for
an item in your home? If you did
you probably spent a lot of time
and effort to make sure you get the
best buy for your money.
Yet, studies show that men and
women treat selecting child care
in such a quick manner that they
take the first available spot for
their most prized possession
their child.
Why do parents need to select
child care so carefully? The child
may be with that caregiver 8 to 10
hours a day. They are really sub
stitute parents. The caregiver has a
strong influence on a child during
that period of time. Your child’s
well being and happiness arc at

A parent needs to approach
selecting child care in the same
manner as you would when buy
ing a car or expensive appliance.
Be a good consumer, shop around,
compare quality and disadvan
tages of each child care
arrangement.
It is absolutely necessary for
you to visit the day care home or
center and talk with the caregiver.
You need to determine what the
caregiver is like. Some questions
to ask are:
• How did you get started as a
family day caregiver?
• How long have you been
doing it?
• Are you registered with the
state?
Boanii§rasi(ni
j t - y -
■ How many children do you
care for each day? What are their
aces?
■ What type of things do you
like to do with children?
* What sort of activities would
my child take part in?
• How do you care for sick
children?
■ In addition, you should dis
cuss such subjects as discipline
and how arguments among child
ren arc handled. If the child is old
er, you should discuss what lan
guage is permitted by the caregiv
er and how she would handle
inquiries by the child about some
aspect of sex or religion.
During your visit you observe
the caregiver with the other child
ren and quite possibly your own if
you initiate an invitation to have
your child join the group for a
short time while you look around.
It is important that you see all the
rooms and play areas, both inside
and outside, that the children use.
Use common sense. For example,
if the house is near a busy toad or
creek, what amount of danger is
present and what precautions are
taken to safeguard the children.
Most of all, how do you, the
child’s parent, honestly think and
feel your child would fit into this
family day care home or center?
If you decide on a specific fami
