Quality care provides a safe and healthy learning environment that supports the social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional development of all children. This checklist assists parents of children with disabilities or special needs in looking, listening and asking questions in the process of selecting the child care setting that best meets the needs of their child and family. It can also assist programs in identifying the necessary components of a quality inclusive child care setting as they evaluate their program and services provided.
