Child Care
Choosing a child care provider is one of the most important decisions families make. Research shows that high-quality child care and early education can boost children's learning and social skills when they enter school. A good child care provider is someone who cares about children and interacts warmly with them. A good child care center is clean and safe. After choosing your child care provider, stay involved. Studies show that the children who achieve better in school have families who stay involved in their care and education.
