Is Your Child Happy At Day Care?

Attend a Field Trip or Activity to Watch Interaction

From , former About.com Guide

Just as most providers plan special field trips for children, why not plan a special "field trip" with your child? After coordinating with your caregiver, plan to accompany your child on a special event or just drop in an visit and help out in the classroom. Then, watch and learn. Do you see happy faces, hear laughter, and observe learning. If so, chances are your child is benefiting from the placement. A key to ensuring a happy child is involvement! An additional plus is that most caregiver will welcome the extra set of helping hands and your enthusiasm!
