Choosing good child care is one of the most important decisions for working parents with young children. The document provides steps to take in choosing a provider, including starting early, visiting facilities and asking questions about supervision, discipline, sanitization, caregiver qualifications and ratios. Parents should consider these factors to ensure their children are properly cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.
