7 Critical Factors Parents Should Consider Before They Put Their Child in Any Daycare Center

Dallas, Texas - March 18, 2010 -- Parents are distrustful of Daycares, because they are afraid their child will be abused or mistreated. With all the Daycares in the news hurting and neglecting their children---parents are more skeptical than ever. Because there so many "unsafe" daycares, parents need information to make sure they choose the right center for their toddler.

"Parents choosing a quality daycare for their child is one of the scariest decisions they have to make." says, Kelly Mayberry, Child Expert and Director of Brilliance Preschool & Academy. Mrs. Mayberry explains," I've spoken with many parents who would rather stay-at-home, before they put their child in a daycare again!" Because of these horrified admissions, she details 7CriticalFactors all parents should address before putting their child in any center:

1) The Center Should Have Qualified& Caring Teachers: Parents should have their child in centers with degreed or certified teacher. If not --- Beware!

2) Classroom Sizes Should be At or Below State Teacher/Student Ratio: Some centers are private business and focus on profits. Rather than the care of the children.

3) The Center Should Always Have Consistent Communication with Parents: Parents should be able to communicate with someone at the center about their child at any time.

4) The Center Should be Safe and Secure: It's best to choose a center with Control Access, DVR recording, and CCTV --- as the minimum security standards.

5) Quality of Center: You should expect the center to be warm and inviting. It should be in good repair and condition. And conducive to a respectable learning environment.

6) Learning vs. "Just Playing": Parents should stray away from daycares that just let kids play. These unstructured activities lead to many children getting injured.

7) Sanitation: The Center should have a daily cleanliness policy to reduce germs and viruses.
