When 60% of children in Texas have all parents in the workforce, according to the nonprofit and childcare advocacy organization How Can I Contact Other Parents at My Child’s Daycare Center?
Most daycare centers provide families with a classroom roster and family directory upon enrollment. But whether your daycare center has established modes of communication with its parents or not, there are increasingly more ways to get connected.
- Check out local parenting groups on social media. Many cities and neighborhoods across Texas have dedicated parenting Facebook groups like Lake Highland Moms and Woodlands Moms. These groups are great resources for getting advice and information from local parents.
- Join neighborhood parenting groups. Some neighborhoods even have broader organizations with events for parents like the Moms of Mueller group in Austin.
- Seek out other parents in your neighborhood or local church. Even if their children don't attend the same daycare center, they may connect you with families who do or did in the past.
Finding a channel of parents in your area who are connected through their dedication to their children means you have a whole support system of people not only to help you discover more information about your child’s daycare center but to support you along the way. Your inquiries may also help parents who are trying to find a safe daycare center in your area.
What Questions Should I Ask Other Parents After My Child’s Daycare Injury?
Ask other parents open-ended, direct questions after your child’s injury at the center to uncover any patterns of negligence or a history of safety failures and child injuries.
Here’s a list of suggested questions to help guide your conversations:
- Have your children experienced any injuries at the daycare center?
- Do you know of or have you heard about other children who were injured at the daycare center?
- In your experience, how does the daycare center handle harmful incidents or injuries?
- What is your impression of the caregivers and staff at the daycare center?
- Have you ever raised any concerns with the caregivers or director at the daycare center?
- Have you noticed any safety concerns at the daycare center?
- Do you feel your child is safe at this daycare center?
What Should You Do After Speaking with Other Parents at a Daycare Center?
Record your conversations with other parents, including any recurring issues or specific incidents shared with you. You can screenshot emails, text messages, social media comments, or write them down. This documentation can be valuable if you decide to take legal action to hold the daycare center accountable for its negligence that caused your child’s injuries.
