Assignment:

I had an interview with my aunt, who has one child in daycare. She has other children, but they are at the age where they attend public school. My aunt has mentioned multiple times that the most important way she decides which daycare is the right one is based on what she can afford. She has no problem searching around for the right daycare if her child can learn material that helps her educationally, rather than just be watched for a few hours while she is at work. The process that she has gone through is going to local moms at the school for references to safe institutions, looking online, and going through many reviews to make sure that they hold up to their mission and the core values they claim to have online. My aunt was also mentioning that, with the gas prices, paying out of pocket, and having to be financially conscious, the location of daycare for her child played a huge role.

The location must not be too far from home, work, and her older brother's elementary school. The location is a huge deal to her, but she will be willing to compromise for the right one that meets all her qualifications, such as educational teaching, activities that are informative, and an environment where the teachers and kids act in a proper way. My aunt relies heavily on the opinions of other mothers. She has a belief that mothers only know the way that their kids should be cared for and really trust the people that she asks about the daycares she's looking into because the people that she is associated with all know how to be amazing moms that provide their children with the right tools to be successful. The luxury of being able to visit the daycare before signing any paperwork is a must, and it is always one of the qualifications she looks forward to when selecting a daycare.

She likes to visit the daycare to ensure that there are not too many children that the teachers are not able to keep an eye out for all of them; there is also space that is outdoors so that her child can have fresh air rather than be indoors at all times; and there are multiple rooms to separate learning from play time along with nap rooms. There were a few red flags that my aunt would mark when visiting these daycares, such as not having a childcare provider. that doesn't have the high level of education of an associate's degree; they do not separate by age groups to focus on one so they can be spoken to as they understand; they don't have a platform that parents can communicate with them easily on, such as an app or a daycare that doesn't influence a change in her child's attitude
