I'm going to be a parent soon. What do I need to know about child care?

You should research different types of childcare options, such as in-home daycare, nannies and babysitters, public pre-schools, or private preschools. Consider your budget, the safety record of each option, and the qualifications of any potential providers. Make sure you have an emergency plan for when you are away from home. Finally, talk to other parents who have children the same age as yours so that you can get their advice on what worked best for them.
