Child Care

 
Children's healthy development depends on safe and positive experiences when they are very young.  If you work or go to school, you want to know that your child is in good hands while you are away. You may choose a child care center (daycare) or where your child goes to the caregiver's home. You need to choose the one that works for your family.

Choosing appropriate child care for your infant or young child can seem overwhelming.  As a parent, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child is safe and happy in a child care environment that is fun, educational and nurturing.
