    I don't consider this a red flag. Some parents just don't understand that it can take time to find a daycare. Or they have been looking but just not finding anything that they like and/or fits there needs.

    I get a lot of family's who need care to start the next day/in a few days or weeks. This family's however are looking for subsidized care and thought that by putting there name on the centralized waiting list they didn't have to look for care themselves. Most of these family's are surprised when i tell them that it can take anywhere from a few days to over a month just to get in to see someone about subsidy.

    These parents might not have realized just how hard it can be to find a daycare. Did you ask them why they waited so long?

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
