Finding Quality Child Care Time to explore a variety of options for superior child care facilities in Woodbridge, Virginia. Everyone has a long list of pointed questions when it comes to finding the perfect day care facilities for our children. As a mother, I certainly did and my daughter did as well when it came to finding quality day care for my grandchildren. Here are some of the reactions we looked for when visiting potential child/day care centers - with the children: What was the child's immediate reaction to the people who greeted you and to the environment? Were they eager to participate in an activity without encouragement? Even a gregarious, outgoing child will hesitate or turn tail when presented with a less than reassuring adult and uncomfortable surroundings. Are all activities from play, lunch and nap time well planned, organized and totally "under control"? Does the ratio of child care supervisors meet state standards? What about the actual physical facilities? Clean play areas, good ventilation, sunny rooms and above all.. is everything "kid proofed"? Is there an outdoor play area and is it well protected? Everyone has a slightly different set of questions but be sure to ask them...as some responses can automatically eliminate certain providers. It is easiest way to determine if a particular location is the right fit for you and your child.
