Choosing a daycare is one of the biggest decisions parents make when returning to work after a new baby is born. It can be a huge factor in the level of happiness of the entire family and can play a huge role in the development of the child. Before settling on a daycare, parents should take a number of steps to choose an adequate facility.

The first thing to do is to make a list of the features that are important to the parents. This list can include proximity to work and home, hours of operation, the number of children in each class or group, activities offered, and any number of other factors.

Next, conduct a thorough amount of research. Friends, family, doctors, and referral agencies will all have an opinion on daycare options for children. Check the phonebook, the Internet, and any other resource for all possible centers.

After that, it is important to go look at the daycare center. Before going, make a phone call and ask some preliminary questions. This will give you a general idea of how they treat parents. Be sure to write down any initial feelings that developed as a result of the phone call.

Once the phone calls have been made, it is important to cross the bad feeling daycares off the list of potential centers. It is now time to conduct the in person interview for the centers where there was a good feeling after the phone call.
