Childcare Facilities Near UEI’s Stockton Campus

Vocational and trade schools offer various programs that are a great fit for people who want to get their education quickly and get right to work. This educational path often appeals to parents of young children, because the course of study is so flexible and with so many options. For those students who have children, finding childcare can be hard enough, but finding a facility close to school that can work with their schedule can prove much more difficult. Here we’ll take a look at some childcare facilities and preschools near UEI’s Stockton Campus.

What should I look for from a child care provider?

The most important thing is that you and your child are comfortable with the facility and the care providers themselves. Parents have different preferences when it comes to age groups, educational time vs. free time, whether or not curriculum is faith-based, and whether it’s in someone’s private home or a dedicated facility. In addition to those personal preferences, some other criteria might be whether or not staff are FBI background checked, certified in first aid/CPR, have a medical/TB clearance, whether they have drop-in services or extended hours, and even whether or not they will accept children who are not potty trained. Care providers who are reputable will be happy to disclose all this and more, so be wary of facilities that won’t give you the information you ask for. Childcare can be expensive, and as a student you might be eligible for assistance, so be sure to inquire about whether or not a facility accepts any sort of subsidy or assistance in paying for their services.
