I am excited to share with you a little bit of a story we did with StoryCorps last December 2021.
Quiero compartir con ustedes un pedacito de una historia que hicimos con StoryCorps en diciembre.
What do you want for your children?
It’s likely the same thing everyone wants for their children – good health, safety, positive learning experiences and the chance to grow and develop and reach their full potential.
And this is what you try to provide when you’re looking after them.
But many families can’t be with their children all day, every day – work, school and other obligations mean that we sometimes entrust our children to child care providers.
In addition to the obvious things like price, location and availability, there are many other things to consider when choosing a child care provider. The most important ones are the quality of the provider and how their services match your child’s needs. After all, even though you can’t be with your child all the time, you still want the best for them… all the time.
