Look for a provider who is certified by the state. Larger homes may have several providers.<\/li>\n<li>Child care centers usually have several caregivers. Often children of different ages are in separate groups. Look for a center that is licensed by the state.<\/li>\n<li>To find high-quality child care in Arizona, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/qualityfirstaz.com\/parents-and-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quality First<\/a>.

If you can, start with half days the first week. It will help your baby get used to new people and a new place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Helping Your Baby Learn<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure your caregiver helps your baby learn. She should talk, sing and play with your baby. She should read picture books and nursery rhymes.
