First,I look for how loving they are towards my child. Also, I make sure that their curriculum is well rounded. It should engage all of the different intelligences of the children. It shoudl have a very patient staff. I look for the ability to stop by and drop in at any time. I look for a creative arts program vs. a school that just alays does crafts and calls that "art". I look for an approach to learning that is fun and makes my child feel successful. A classroom size that is not overcrowded. I look at their toys and see that they are in good condition and clean. I look for an adequate supply of books to read. Most of all, I look at how willing my child is to be there to ensure that she feels happy while she is in their care. :)
