Day Care: Questions to Ask About the Facility

Does the facility have:

  • carpeting, pads, and drapery to absorb extraneous noise?
  • child-sized furniture?
  • a cheerful, colorful atmosphere?
  • ample toys and art materials?
  • happy, "constructive" sounds?
  • plenty of indoor and outdoor space?
  • special areas for quiet and active play?
  • safe, creative outdoor play equipment?
  • a place to display children's work?
  • a quiet place for homework?
  • places to practice extracurricular skills (sports, music, dance)?
