Before you select a child care facility, consider these fact-finding actions:

 Look at all your options – nonprofit, church and other community child care centers, private centers, and company-sponsored child care 

 Schedule a first visit 

 Make an unannounced second visit 

 Ask for names and phone numbers of other parents; call them and ask candid questions 

 Check safety issues: cleanliness, cleaning supplies and utensils out of reach, furniture and toys in good shape, preparedness for emergencies, current medical record of all children 

 Check staff qualifications and turnover 

 Make sure the facility is licensed by the state
