For a Langhorne day care center, you can look up the state or city’s database to see if their license is effective. Preschool licenses are also available by the state but can often be harder to research.

Here are some things to look for when researching Langhorne preschools or daycares.

Is the center meeting state and local safety guidelines?  Are they following the rules on the number of children that each caretaker has?   There are even guidelines to check on napping children every few minutes to ensure that they are in proper sleeping positions.  Each city and state will have a different set of safety guidelines.

Most states have an inspection history reports available to the public.    These reports will show the number of violations, if any, and their severity of these violations.  Langhorne preschools or daycares not operating within the guidelines, will have violations reported.  Some may be minor violations like having some menu items that do not meet nutritional guidelines.

The Staff Sets Precedence for Daycare or Preschool Safety

Does the staff have pediatric first aid training? D o they have the training to administer CPR?  Are there clear fire drills and other safety precautions being conducted? You may want to talk to the staff to get an idea of how they operate their classrooms. You may also want to talk with the coordinator to see what is done to keep children safe in the facility.
