As you make your phone calls, ask the providers if they are an accredited program. Here is why:
Accredited family child care homes and group child care centers have taken steps to measure up to standards of quality set up by national child care organizations. Programs that are accredited have gone beyond minimum licensing standards. They have made a commitment to follow strict guidelines for providing a higher quality of educational and developmental services for children.
