Q: How can I best learn if my child's daycare center has a history of complaints?
A: Many resources exist that can provide you with information as to whether your child's particular day care center has had any problems in the past. First, check the website of the day care center licensing authority in your state, such as the Department of Family and Protective Services. Second, make unannounced visits to your child's day care center and see for yourself whether any problems exist. Third, talk with other families and get a sense of their experiences. Finally, research your child's day care center. There are many organizations online that are committed to fighting abuse each and every day. Remember, education is a key to recognizing and preventing day care abuse.
