Child care quality has many aspects and the easiest aspects to judge are the regulable standards such as: adult-to-child ratios, group size, and the child care provider's education and training. It is also good to find out whether the setting is accredited and by what organization. Accreditation from the government agency or some other well known organization is a good indicator of higher quality. Ask whether a child care setting is licensed, listed, or certified by the local government agency or organization responsible for child care regulations. Such a designation means that the setting met minimum standards for quality as defined by the government or organization in charge. You can get this information from your local government or organization.
