Here’s how to find a quality child care program in PA
The search is easier than ever via the Find Child Care search engine:
- Type in your address and children’s ages, or search by provider name, then click “find a provider.”
- Filter your results by ratings, hours, languages and more.
Once you’ve narrowed down your selections, experts suggest visiting the facility in person to get a feel for the place. Here are some helpful things to ask:
- How is the program regulated? Are there complaints or violations?
- What is the staff’s education level and experience with young kids?
- How long have the teachers been at the program?
- How do the teachers use Pennsylvania early learning standards in their curriculum and learning activities?
Here’s what guardians can look for when it comes to safety, teachers and specialists, and atmosphere.
