What should I look for when choosing a daycare?+

How early should I start looking for daycare?+
For infant care, start during pregnancy — quality programs have 3–12 month waitlists. For preschool, start 9–12 months before your desired start date. For Head Start, apply during pregnancy for Early Head Start, and when your child turns 2 for Head Start (ages 3–5).
