In today’s world, many households are dominated by single parents and families where both parents choose to (or have to) work full time jobs. As such, more and more parents need to seek help from daycare centers to care for their children while they are busy at work. Sending your child or children to daycare centers should be a decision that is made only after thorough research has been done because daycare negligence as well as problem in grade school are becoming increasingly evident in schools around the state.
When it comes to judging the quality of care and attention provided to your child, it’s best to analyze the situation based on your child’s stage of schooling.
For Daycare, the following questions should be considered:
- Is there at least one adult for every five children?
- Is the building clean and well maintained?
- Are there any safety or maintenance hazards?
- Is the daycare staff properly licensed and trained?
- Is the daycare staff trained in giving CPR and first aid?
Even after research, the right decision could still lead to a child being injured due to the negligence of a daycare center or a daycare employee. A child injury in a daycare center can occur from any number of reasons including: accidental child poisoning, physical child abuse, mental child abuse and unsafe playground equipment.
