Parents searching for home child care, expecially if the care is not licensed or operated as part of a home care agency, must do a intensive inspection of the home facilities, the caregiver, and other staff/family members. But even where the care is licensed, parents are lulled into a false sense of security in their belief that state and provincially run licensed child care facilities are safe. Worse, referral and licensing agencies designed to help parents find good child care quite often knowingly recommend problem-plagued facilities. How are parents to know good centre from a bad one?

Our Home Child Care Evaluation Checklist arms parents powerful questions that should be asked on ever interview. This 7 page checklist is broken down in to comprehensive sections that easily allows parents to appraise a centre on a scale from "Very Good" to "Very Poor" in such areas as:

• First Impressions
• Staff Qualifications
• Licensing
• Administration
• Indoor and Outdoor Facilities
• Daily Activities
• Health, Hygiene and Nutrition
• Safety
• Behaviour Management
• Parent Involvement
• and finally, Overall Impressions
