Sacramento Parent's
Guide to Child Care

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Editor's Note: Don't let choosing the ideal child care program become an overwhelming task. First, determine what your child's individual needs are and what your expectations as a parent are. Then dive into Sacramento Parent's Child Care Guide and do some research. Choose a few programs to visit, observe and ask lots of questions. Check out the National Association for the Education of Young Childrens tips for parents choosing child care. And remember, no program is perfect for every child--your job is to find the best match for your child.
