In addition to our roles as legal professionals, many of us are also parents, so we understand that busy schedules make part-time or full-time day care a necessity. Choosing a day care or preschool provider can quickly become confusing due to the wide range of options.
There are some key elements to making a good choice. Experts say that a licensed and registered day care facility should be at the top of your list of mandatory qualifications, but in Washington, preschools do not need to be licensed. Even a licensed and registered day care facility that complies with safety requirements can be a dangerous environment if children are being supervised by insufficient or untrained day care staff.

Sometimes, homeowners consider themselves to be child care providers because they have playground equipment in their yard. A lack of trained child care staff and/or unsafe environments can lead to playground injuries or other tragedies that result in serious injury or death.
Warnings Signs for Day Care Abuse or Negligence
Your child may be too young or too afraid to tell you about dangerous or abusive situations.
Below is a list of physical and emotional signs that may be indications that your child is being emotionally, sexually or physically abused:
- Frequent unexplained bruises, torn clothing or other visible injuries
- Withdrawn or fearful behavior
- Crying and/or pleading when you leave the child
- Continual fighting and/or acting out
Although many children exhibit these behaviors on occasion, unexplained or ongoing instances are unusual and should be investigated.
