There are many good reasons for
planning ahead for child care,
but the two most important are
probably:
- What type of care is the
best fit for me? The primary
options are center-based
care, private in-home care
or family day care.
- What kind of
programming, environment,
philosophy and qualities of
care best match what we are
seeking?
Since there's nothing more
important to you than ensuring
your child's care and education,
it's wise to allow ample time to
understand what options are open
to you and the differences among
them, and then secure the option
you prefer. Currently, some of
the local child care centers and
pre schools have waiting lists
of up to a year for some age
groups.
But the first step is to
assess your own needs.
