Parents may find nursery preschool programs beneficial too since they can provide much-needed respite or an outlet for creative activities for youngsters.

All nursery preschools on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck.

Choosing a nursery school also means learning about their curriculum; don’t forget to ask about their educational plans as well as any special activities they may offer. Finally, the nursery preschool staff will play a big role in the quality of care provided so it's essential that they are competent and friendly towards both children and parents.
