The first thing to do, as presented in the social networks of mutual space is of great importance. To start this process by making a list of the things I would like to offer to my child, and what as a parent, I would like to offer him/her.

Among other factors we can evaluate the following:
-
Infrastructure
Having an open space, adequate for the development of activities, play, and rest areas, are of great importance. In this way, the child will have more possibilities to adapt. Likewise, the kindergarten must have the necessary safety elements for the care of the children, responding to the needs that may exist and providing them with an experience of safe interaction with their environment.

Food
A balanced meal provides the necessary nutrients for a child to achieve progress in their growth process, for this reason, when looking for a kindergarten that has dining rooms, you should evaluate the menu offered, the healthiness of the place, and if it is according to the nutritional needs of each child.
Finally, it is also important to analyze issues such as location and price, and of course, in these visits to choose the best kindergarten for your child you should be very attentive to any sign, if you feel comfortable, your child could be too
