Hunting for a Safe Daycare? Begin Your Search With Bright From the Start
At Families.DECAL.GA.gov/childcare/ search, you can enter your address and daycare preferences to find the best licensed childcare program for your kids. Do you need weekend care with transportation to and from the center? You can select that option! You can also include your budget. For even more helpful information, scroll below the search field and click “Choosing a Child Care.” That section of the website explains how and why to choose a licensed program, how to read a licensing report, and what it means when a daycare is “Georgia Quality Rated.” (Pro Tip: choose a three-star Quality Rated daycare if you can.) When you need a babysitter, we recommend applying similarly strict standards. Check
One of the most stressful parts of being a parent is dropping your child off with a caretaker and driving away. We all have to do it — work commitments and social engagements are part of life, especially during the holidays! However, that doesn’t make it any easier. What does help is knowing your child is in the hands of a daycare provider or babysitter you can trust. If you’re on the hunt for safe daycare in Georgia and aren’t sure where to begin, we recommend starting with Bright From the Start, the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. Bright From the Start is responsible for licensing child care centers and home-based child care, so they can help you identify legitimate providers that meet your needs.
their references and experience, ask if they know CPR and first aid, and find out whether they’ve taken babysitting courses like those offered by the American Red Cross. You may also consider trying a service like Care. com or SeekingSitters and Nannies. Both platforms perform background checks. Care. com conducts criminal records searches, and SeekingSitters confirms references for all sitters on its platform. Hopefully, taking these precautions will keep your kids safe while you’re away from them. If the worst happens and your child is injured, abused, or neglected during daycare, call our team at Kevin Patrick Law. We’ve successfully handled dozens of daycare cases and will hold the provider accountable.
