- Look at all your options - nonprofits, churches, 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
