Finding child care is more than just a click of the mouse.It's a decision you don't want to take lightly. But most parents looking for childcare are in a time crunch.
"I’m too late. I should’ve looked into this 4 months ago.”
”My maternity leave is almost over and I haven’t found childcare for my infant.”
“I can’t go back to work or school until I can find childcare."
”I have no idea who to trust or where to start.”
|
SEARCHING ONLINE ISN’T ALWAYS ENOUGH. SOMETIMES YOU NEED A REAL PERSON TO HELP.Looking for child care is deeply personal.
Just because a child care provider is convenient, available, or affordable doesn’t mean your family will be happy there.
Not only that, when searching for child care providers online, it can be difficult to get a complete picture of their health and safety practices.
