Bergen County Preschools and Childcare Centers: How to Choose the Right Facility for Your Child

2024 Bergen County NJ Preschools and Childcare Centers Directory!

Increased awareness of the positive impact of early childhood education is a significant factor in parents placing their preschoolers in the best available programs in the Bergen County area.

A recent study shows that “one in five people (18%) believe the period from the start of pregnancy to age five is the most important period of a child and young person’s life for health and happiness in adulthood,” according to Ipsos.

According to the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, the breakdown of child care referral requests is as follows by age:

• Infant/Toddler – 40.7%
• Pre-school age – 33.5%
• School-age – 25.8%

According to Child Care Aware of America, the primary care setting of children under age 5 living with a working mom includes the following:

• Relatives – 27.3%
• Organized Care – 32.7% (Center-based Care: 25.9%, Family Child Care Homes: 6.8%)
• One of their parents – 24.4 %
• Multiple arrangements – 26.7%
• No regular arrangements – 11%
• Mothers who work full-time are more likely to use non-relative care for their children.

According to ChildCareAware.org, the most important factors when choosing a child care center are:

• Quality (which includes provider education, provider experience and training, and a low child-adult ratio)
• Safety
• Location
• Cost
• Activities for children
• Communication
• Trustworthiness

For Bergen County working parents and parents looking to place their children in a social and/or early learning environment, choosing the right preschool or daycare center is possibly one of the most important decisions they will make for their child.

With this in mind, mybergen.com is providing the following list of questions and considerations for you, your family (and your support team), as well as a checklist and specific questions for preschools, nursery schools, children’s daycare facilities, etc.

This comprehensive checklist was compiled and created from guidelines provided by the Child Care Aware of America, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Questions to Ask and Other Considerations When Researching a Preschool, Early Education, or Childcare Center

• Is the program licensed? Ask to see the license. If not, ask why and then check New Jersey licensing regulations to ensure the program is not required to be licensed.
• Look at the program’s past inspection reports and complaint history.
• Find licensing information and inspection reports for your state and view inspection reports.
• Are visits from parents allowed and encouraged anytime the child care program is open? If you are not allowed to visit at any time (without calling ahead), this is not the best program for your child, and you should consider a different program.
• Does the program have an appropriate number of adults looking after each group of children? This is known as the child-to-adult ratio. Recommended ratios are usually lower for younger children. For example, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that child care centers have no more than 3 infants under 12 months old per adult.
• Are children, including infants, supervised at all times, even when sleeping?
• Does the director (of a child care center) have a college degree in child development or a related field? Do teachers (or the owner and operator of a family child care home) have a credential or college degree in early childhood education or a related field?
• Do all adults in the program receive ongoing training in working with children and child development?
• Is there a planned schedule for each day or week that encourages learning and includes active and quiet play, group and individual learning activities, rest time, and mealtimes?
• Is the environment safe, clean, and well maintained? For example, are safe cribs provided for each infant, and does the program follow safe sleep guidelines? Are electrical outlets covered?
• Are medicines and dangerous items, including cleaning supplies, kept out of the reach of children?
• Is there a written discipline policy that explains how behavioral concerns are handled? For example, does the policy clarify that there will be no spanking, humiliating, or excluding children? Do discipline techniques in the policy teach and guide children rather than punish them? How does the program ensure that techniques are used in clear, consistent, and fair ways?
• Does the program feel warm and welcoming? Are the children happily engaged in activities?
• Do the adults seem to enjoy working with and caring for the children? Are they actively involved with the children, and do they pay attention to the needs of each child?
• Have all adults working in the program had state and national background checks, including fingerprinting?
• Have the adults in the program been trained on preventing child abuse and recognizing and reporting the signs of abuse?
• Is there someone present at all times who has been trained in pediatric first aid and C.P.R.? Do staff know how to respond to an allergic reaction? Are the adults in the program trained in how to prevent injuries? Is there a first aid kit available?
• Does the program have a clear, written plan to follow if a child is injured, sick, or lost?
• Is there a written plan for responding to emergencies and disasters such as fire or flooding? Does the program conduct regular fire drills?

• Does the program provide transportation that could help you get your child to and from the program or to and from school?
• Can your family afford this program?

• How does the child care program support your child’s learning and development? Your child is always learning, and the child care program you choose must take essential steps to encourage that learning.

• Is food safe and developmentally appropriate? For example, no foods that are choking or allergy hazards.
• What are rules, guidelines, and protocols relating to COVID-19 safety?
• Have all enrolled children received their recommended immunizations—including your child? Does the child care program keep records to show that all children are up to date on all their required immunizations?
• If the program will transport your child, is there a signed permission slip in place? Are the vehicles used for transportation safe, registered, and insured? Are there appropriate car seats and seat belts available for each child? Is the driver a licensed and insured adult who has undergone a national and state background check that includes fingerprints?
• Are the adults responsible for giving medication to children trained on how to do this safely? Are medications labeled to ensure the right child gets the right amount of the proper medication at the right time? Are records kept to show when children received medication and how the medication was given?
