What Makes a San Francisco Baby Care the Best?
There are a number of things to look for when you’re trying to choose the best San Francisco daycare — here are just a few of the most important ones.License and Accreditation: Child care centers are required to follow state licensing regulations; the best San Francisco baby care centers go above and beyond and strive for accreditation through national programs, such as the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
Caregiver Quality and Ratio: Whether you tour virtually or in person, ask about the caregivers’ experience and credentials. Observe the classrooms and note whether the caregivers are engaged with the children and whether they seem to genuinely enjoy their work. Additionally, ensure the center follows state guidelines for teacher-to-child ratios.
Environment: Look for an engaging, welcoming center environment. Infant classrooms should have educational, fun materials readily accessible for babies; soft spaces for learning how to roll, sit up, crawl, stand, and walk; open spaces for movement and play; and more.
