First and foremost, there should be a warm and welcoming staff that never makes any child or parent feel like they don’t belong. Then there must be a secure environment for children, including an open area where one can see all children at all times and where children can freely move about and even make some noise. It should also be clean and neat for both children and parents. Next, there must be experienced and knowledgeable staff. There should be staff that has been trained on engaging and stimulating programs. Finally, there must be social opportunities for the children, payment options that don't turn parents hair gray, and a location that is close to work or home. We are all that and more at Patricia Bates.
