Make a
Decision |
| Remember that it is OK
to be choosy. Review the information you have gathered and call back if you
have questions that were not answered. Trust your gut instinct. If you are
not comfortable with what you have found thus far, keep looking. If a child
care arrangement you like is full, put your name on a waiting list. Even if
you must use another program temporarily, you will have this as an option if
things don’t work out. |
| If
Problems Arise Sometimes child care
programs that are wonderful take a sudden turn for the worse. That’s why it
is important to keep a watchful eye and to continually monitor your child
care situation. If you believe that your child care arrangement is not
safe, take immediate action. If the situation is serious, do not hesitate
to find alternative care right away. After all, you alone are most
responsible for your child’s health and safety.
Remember also that you
have a responsibility to other children to see that they are well cared
for. Express your concerns to the caregiver and report concerns to the
Child Care Licensing Officer for your county. It may feel uncomfortable at
first, but it is the right thing to do. Our children deserve the very best
that we can give them. |
