Preventive Measures to Help Ensure Safe Day Care
- Find out who will be watching your child if the caregiver
must be away.
- Make unannounced visits.
- Get to know other parents who have children enrolled.
- Check to see whether the facility is licensed by the
department of social services, human services, or health
(does not guarantee safe environment).
- Check with above agency to determine whether home or
center has had complaints.
- Thoroughly check caregiver's references.
If you suspect a problem, report any suspected incident of
physical or sexual abuse to your local department of social
or human services (protective services division or child
protection team). You may remain anonymous or ask that your
name not be mentioned.
