Child Care Considerations - Location
Some towns have a greater supply of care than others. You can increase the pool of potential providers by including your commute route in your search. You might want your child close to your workplace so that you can get there quickly in an emergency or be able to drop in and visit during lunchtime. Perhaps you want your child’s caregiver close to home so he does not have a long commute at the beginning and end of the day. This is especially important if you use public transportation to get to and from work.
