Choosing Quality Child Care

This section provides you with information and tools that will help you to choose child care which meets your child's needs and your needs and expectations. Remember that your child care arrangement is a private agreement between you and your child's caregiver. A listing on this site is not an endorsement of a program or caregiver, nor is it a guarantee of quality. You will want to take whatever time is necessary to make a thoughtful and informed choice.

The topics listed will provide you with ideas on what to look for in your search for high quality child care. You may also wish to contact Child Care Information Hamilton to obtain additional resources which focus on choosing quality care.
