» Feature Writer Debbie DeSpirt - Choosing A Day Care Center


My best advice is to check out many and then make a short list and revisit the daycare centers again and again. Before I placed my four year old in his kindergarten class at a Montessori school, I had 4 meetings with the teacher and she was always willing to share information and to respond to my concerns. As well, they have an open door policy and I can drop by unannounced to have a look to ease my anxieties. I find open communication and time to discuss any matter is very important.

In response to Choosing A Day Care Center posted by ChoKuRei:


I definetly agree that open communication is paramount, and that an open-door policy is often a good indicator of at least a center that is working to do a good job.

I think that it must come down to a child's personality. Some are more comfortable in a quiet, small center, and some flourish in a larger center that offers a greater number of children to interact with, and activities to be enjoyed.
