What to Expect in an Infants Daycare Center From Paradigm

What to Look for in Daycares that take Infants

If the thought of leaving your infant with someone else all day scares you, trust me, you are not alone. Making the decision to put your baby in a daycare center while you return back to work has got to be one the biggest decisions you could ever make…especially if this is your first newborn. However, find rest in knowing that there’s hope out there–you just have to be open to the possibilities.

Things to Look for in Daycare Centers

Depending on where you live, you may or may not have to give yourself time to find the best daycare center for your child. It has been suggested for parents to set aside at least two to three months of cushion space (prior to going back to their everyday work life), however, everyone is different. Here are a few steps to take to help make this transition a smooth one:

Do your research and interview centers: ask around and get recommendations from other parents that you trust. Once you’ve come up with a list of centers, call them and ask questions. If they are not living up to your expectations, be true to yourself and scratch them off of the list.
Drop by unannounced in person: upon making your final choice, make unexpected visits to the centers in person. Pay close attention to detail and how they run their center. If the staff at the center is unorganized/unprepped, cross them off of the list.
Check references and reviews: if possible, try to call or get in contact with former and current clients who have (or do) attend that specific child care center. Ask them for their honest opinion and based on what they say, make your decision.
