If you’ve been researching our daycare options in Elmwood Park online, your next step should be a tour of our facilities. Tours give you a great opportunity to see for yourself what we have to offer and discuss questions you may have with our professional team members. At Little Newtons, we offer quality daycare services for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and Pre-K. We want you to feel confident about letting us take care of your little ones, so why not reach out today and arrange a visit to explore our facility for yourself?
We’d recommend checking out your options online first. A good daycare provider will offer important information about their services, including their childcare philosophy, facilities, and groups, on their website. They may also maintain a social media presence that offers insight into daily life at the daycare.
When scheduling your tour, it’s important to give yourself sufficient time to explore the facility you’re visiting. Besides seeing the rooms where your child will spend time, be sure to discuss any questions with your tour guide or other staff members. Lunch breaks are a popular time to visit our location, but appointments at the end of your workday are also possible.
Before your tour, remember to think through what you want to get out of it. Based on your research, you’ll probably have some questions to ask daycare providers. It can help to write them up in a checklist so you don’t forget anything important on the day.
You probably know already that it’s crucial to research daycare places well ahead of time. You’ll want to inquire several months before your child needs a place to be sure that you can get one.
There are things to look for in a daycare that require time and effort to find. That’s why we recommend starting your daycare search early. Some families tour our Elmwood childcare location months or even a year ahead so they can carefully consider their options and make an informed decision. Our tours are designed to help you do just that. Our knowledgeable staff members are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.
A key topic to ask a new daycare about is its safety precautions and licensing. Daycares need to maintain licensing and employ staff with appropriate training to ensure that kids stay safe. You can get a far better feel for the environment of the daycare during your tour, allowing you to have a sense of how safe you feel your child would be there. If you have specific questions about training requirements for staff and other safety provisions, your daycare tour is the perfect time to ask them.
During your tour, it’s important to look at the entire facility. Your focus will probably be on the room where your child will spend most of their time. However, it’s well worth checking out the parking lot and entrance, since this is where you’ll have to bring your child daily. Taking the extra time to walk through the building will give you the chance to see the toys, play options, and equipment we offer at Little Newtons to support your child’s development from infancy through pre-kindergarten and into elementary level.
A big part of your daycare evaluation will be to examine the qualifications staff members have. You quite rightly have high expectations for your child’s wellbeing and development, and we want to help fulfill those expectations with a well-qualified team of childhood educators.
Our teacher-led approach to childcare puts a premium on well-qualified staff members capable of inspiring your child to learn. We believe that this approach sets us apart from many other childcare providers. We’re convinced of our philosophy because studies show that nurturing and encouraging early education lays the foundation for future success.
Your ideal daycare location will offer a schedule that fits with your work pattern. It will showcase a curriculum that gives your child the chance to learn new things and build on their strengths. The tour is a perfect time to raise questions you may have about our curriculum. We focus on S.T.E.A.M. education, including basic literacy, math, and science. We encourage children to acquire new knowledge and skills that prepare them for the next stage of their development in kindergarten or elementary school.
When you’re choosing daycare for your child, you may also want to make a daycare comparison. The information you get from our tour about our learning philosophy and schedule will go a long way in helping you determine whether we come out on top against the local competition.
Ready to make the decision about your child’s future daycare placement? Then we’d suggest contacting our Elmwood Park team to arrange a walk-through tour.
