Thank you to everyone who participated in our Pink Shirt Day to show our stand against bullying. We encourage all of you to wear something pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere.

What Makes a Great Daycare?
8 Great Tips on Finding the Right Daycare
How can parents find the best-quality childcare? Start with the basics: sensitive, trained caregivers who are committed to the center; a low child-to-teacher ratio; and a creative, fun (and clean!) play space. You can consider both daycare centers and family daycares. Keep in mind that not all daycares are licensed. If you are considering an unlicensed facility, make sure you understand why it falls outside the licensing requirements, and check that they nevertheless meet industry standards for staff-to-child ratios, group size, and caregiver training.
Whatever type of facility you explore, see if it's accredited by an organization. In addition, these groups have Web sites with detailed checklists regarding classroom space, teacher qualifications, sanitary practices, safety, and equipment.
