How to Select a Quality Program:

Think about your child and the type of program that would best serve your child and family.
Start your search by asking friends, family members and school personnel for recommendations.
Contact your local/state resource referral center.
Once you receive your referrals and narrowed your search contact the programs by phone asking about availability, hours and fees.
Look for programs in your area that are dedicated to continuous improvement and are working toward accreditation.
After you have narrowed your list, make appointments to visit the programs and interview the staff.
