It is important that parents know what they should expect
from a childcare provider. In addition, parents
should know what kinds of questions to ask before
choosing a prospective childcare provider. We have developed the following Quality

This Quality Checklist measures a childcare service
in 4 categories: programs, staff, health & safety,
