Choosing Care for Your Child

The care you choose for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. Resources for Child Caring can help identify child care programs that fit the unique needs of your family. Not all child care programs require regulations, and regulations vary by state and type of program. These are some of the most important ingredients in high-quality child care:

• Providers trained in child development
• Smaller groups of children
• Programming focused on the child's needs
• Family involvement
• Accreditation
