When deciding upon a baby daycare center, many concerns come to the minds of parents. Among them, the staffing, efficiency, adequate training in caring for infants and toddlers, the quality of care and cost etc. But the most important factor is the sleep time accommodation.
A legitimate and properly run baby daycare, should make its number one priority, your baby's safety. Because sleep time is one major focus of your choice of a satisfactory baby daycare, their baby cribs, being one of the important, if not the most important accommodation could be made from hardwood or metal. However, just finding a baby daycare center that carry hardwood or metal baby cribs is not enough.

Daycare cribs are made in different styles, and possible shapes for different reasons, purposes or even preferences. For instance, a daycare crib that is made for a baby with special needs, because of its use or purpose, may have a specific shape or design. But regardless of the shape, design, style or purpose, you need to look out for, or pay close attention to making certain that parents needs are met, and their concerns satisfied. In complying with those needs, daycare cribs should meet Government regulations and standards, and are ideal for a baby daycare center.
If the daycare center carries cribs that are made of wood or metal, check to make certain that the wooden material is solid with no rough edges or corners, and no splinters or peeling paint, since these defects or hazards can cause injury, harm such as lead poisoning, or even death to your baby. It is easier to detect such defects or hazards on a white solid wooden crib. If a metal crib is your choice, make certain to check to see that the material is indeed metal, and not silver painted hard plastic to give the appearance of metal.
Some daycare cribs are made with wheels. This is a great feature because it gives easy access to, or mobility for linen changing and cleaning between the cribs. However, even though a daycare crib with wheels instead of a plain wooden or metal leg provides mobility, your baby's safety comes first. Make certain that the wheels are made from metal instead of plastic, and that they are made with a safety lock mechanism.
Two other important factors you should keep in mind when examining cribs in a daycare center are the mattresses and linens. The mattresses should not be too soft or too firm. Additionally, they should fit snuggly or tightly onto the cribs frames. Likewise, the mattresses for daycare cribs should not be smaller than the frame of the cribs, as this can cause them to shuffle about easily by toddlers, thus causing unexpected falls or serious injury to your baby.
