Finding a Child Care Center for Your Children

Families who are making a move to London, KY may find themselves in need of a quality child care center. The good news is London, KY is a community that has excellent options. Here are some tips to finding the right child care center, and a list of possible child care centers in the area.

Questions to Ask When Touring Child Care Centers

A good first step in finding the right child care facility is to take a tour of the center first. As you tour local child care centers, be sure to consider the following questions:

• Is the center certified? - Ask about current state licensure and certification, and be sure that proof is available for you to see during you visit.
• What are the pickup and drop off times? - Make sure that the pickup and drop off times will work with your work schedule.
• What is the child/teacher ratio? - Kentucky has laws that limit the number of children per teacher, but some centers will keep the ratio even lower.
• What learning activities will my child enjoy? - Some centers are entirely play-based, while others have learning activities. Choose a setup you are comfortable with.
• What is your sick child policy? - You want your child to be healthy and limit exposure to other sick children, but you also need to know what the rules are if you have the sick child, so ask about the policy ahead of time.

By asking these questions, you will be able to narrow down your search to find the ideal child care center for your family.
