As a parent, you want the best care and learning experience for your child. One of the most important things to look for in a childcare center is a well-trained and knowledgeable staff. Here are some ways you can tell if a childcare center invests in training for their team.

Ask About Qualifications

A quality center will be happy to share that their staff has required credentials, background checks and ongoing training.

Learn About Ongoing Training

Look for programs that provide regular training on child development, safety, first aid/CPR, behavior guidance and age-appropriate curriculum.

Notice Professional Practices

Trained staff use positive guidance, follow routines, keep children safe and engaged, and communicate well with parents.

Look for a Supportive Environment

A center that values training will also have team meetings, coaching and a positive work culture.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to ask what kind of training the staff receives and how often. A quality center will be proud to tell you!

Why Training Matters

Well-trained staff create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow and reach their full potential.

When staff are trained, your child receives better care, positive guidance and a strong foundation for school success.
