How to pick the best day care?

Finding childcare doesn't have to be daunting…it can be exciting! You're not just choosing a service, you're finding a community you can count on.

Trust your instincts. Walk in and feel the vibe. Are children genuinely happy? Do educators seem energised, not exhausted? Are little ones' needs met calmly and warmly?

Look for consistency. Low staff turnover means educators truly love their jobs and know your child deeply.

Observe interactions. Do staff crouch to children's level? Use names? Respond with patience?

Check the environment. Is it thoughtfully arranged or chaotic? Inviting or overstimulating?

Ask about philosophy. Does their approach align with your values?

The right fit feels like home, where your child is seen, known, and nurtured daily.
