As you begin your search for a day care center, consider the following tips to help make your final decision:

• Ask For References: Talk to family members, co-workers and others with small children to find out where they take their little ones. Also, talk to other parents at the same day care center to get more personal perspectives.
• Visit The Center: Schedule visits and be sure to bring your baby or child with you. Take note of the staff’s demeanor and interaction with the current students. Check out the center’s cleanliness and organization.
