Depending on your family's needs, make sure to inquire about the family daycare provider's experience in caring for children of similar ages. Ask about their qualifications, resources available for learning and development, such as toys or educational materials. Additionally, consider inquiring about how the family daycare provider structures their days; if they provide meals or snacks; and if they allow you to have a tour of their facility. It is also important that you feel comfortable with the family daycare provider and that they understand your family's values and priorities. Taking these points into consideration when selecting a family daycare can help ensure that your child has a safe and nurturing environment in which to thrive.

Upon visiting the family daycare near you in Philadelphia, PA, there should be a sense that it is clean and well-organized, and the staff should be friendly and welcoming.

Consider what's most important to you and when choosing a child care provider, and don't be afraid to ask questions when interviewing potential daycares. You should also schedule a visit to meet with the family daycare provider and observe the environment. You may ask them questions such as: How does the daycare staff interact with the children? Are there toys, materials, and appropriate activities for the age group of children in their care?
