What Are My Choices?

Choosing your child's care is one of your most important parenting responsibilities. Because your children can spend most of their waking hours in care, your child care choice can have a major impact on your family. It is important to take this decision very seriously.

All parents want the best care for their children. Child Action, Inc. believes that you know your child best and you should be the one to decide where your child stays while you work. But, how do you find child care that you can trust and feel good about? First, you need to know:

• What are your rights
• What are the current laws
• What are your child care choices
• What is quality child care
• How quality child care benefits you and your child
• How to find it

Start with a licensed facility.

Providers licensed to provide child care in Sacramento County have successfully completed the following minimum requirements by County Licensing:

• FBI Fingerprint Check
• Home Inspection for Health & Safety Evaluation
• A Minimum of 15 Hours of CPR & First Aid Training

However, keep in mind that a quality child care facility will go beyond minimum licensing requirements. Click here to find out what your choices are in looking for quality child care.
