Child Care Evaluation You’ve already made the toughest decision – to place your child in the care of a provider you can trust. We thought we’d make the next step a little easier – by giving you a tool to help decide which child care provider is right for you. We’re so confident Rainbow Academy will stand out from the others, we created a check list. It outlines the most important aspects of a good early childhood program and allows you to evaluate Rainbow Academy, compared with your other options. As you make your visits, bring our Child Care Evaluation form with you. “I filled out the evaluation form at Rainbow Academy as well as at several other child care centers, and guess what? Those other centers didn’t measure up. They’d tell me, ‘potty-trained children only,’ while Rainbow said, ‘we’ve created the perfect environment to help potty-train your child.’ Check! Next…” We recommend you not make any decision until you’ve visited and toured the different facilities you’re considering. You can learn a great deal from websites, brochures, virtual tours and word of mouth, but there’s no substitute for face-to-face meeting with the people who will be involved with your child every day, seeing how the programs run and just getting a gut feeling for the centers.
