I do agree with you that the daycare provider should see to it that the child feels safe and secured and that they are taken care of in a compassionate way. As a mother, I want to make sure that whoever will take care of my son for three or four hours will give him the kind of love that I can. He’s a sensitive kid after all. I don’t want him to feel lonely or that he’s away from me. Thank you. I am hoping for the best.

I agree that you should expect to have open communication. This will be a big sign of a good daycare center. You want to make sure they are open to your feedback and concerns and that you also feel comfortable talking to them about issues, like you said. I like that you also mentioned a provider should be open about a child’s behavior if there are any issues. They should feel comfortable talking to you about that as well.

Parents should not have to wait to come in?! Leave the door unlocked during pick up times? Pick up times range from 4 to 5 p.m. I wouldn’t dream of leaving my front door unlocked for an hour. Open door policy? yes, parents can and should come at various times; but my standards of safety mean the front door is locked. All the other advice is spot on!
