The questions everyone asks.
What ages do you care for?
We welcome children from 4 months to 5 years old, each with age-appropriate activities.
How big is the group?
Small, and deliberately so. This is licensed family child care in a dedicated space, not a centre with rooms — so your child is with the same small group and the same adults all day, rather than being moved between rooms. Come and see it; the room tells you more than a number would.
What are the qualifications of your staff?
All staff members are certified in CPR and first aid and have completed thorough background checks. They are also bilingual.
How do the two languages work?
Both are spoken all day by people who speak both natively. It is not a lesson on the timetable — it is simply the language the room runs in, which is why children pick it up without being taught at.
Are there cameras, and can I watch the feed?
There are cameras, and no — there is no parent livestream. The cameras are for the people responsible for the space. It also means no stranger is watching your child, or anyone else's.
Can parents visit during the day?
Absolutely. We have an open-door policy for parents of enrolled children.
Then why does a tour need an appointment?
Because a tour deserves somebody's full attention, and in the middle of lunch or nap nobody has it to give. Book a time and you get a proper look at the room and straight answers to your questions. Once your child is enrolled, the open door above applies to you.
What do I need to bring?
Meals and snacks are provided, so mostly a change of clothes, diapers or pull-ups if your child is in them, and anything they sleep with. We will go through the specifics with you before the first day.
What happens on the first week?
We take it at your child's pace. Some settle in a morning, some take a fortnight, and both are normal. You will hear from us during the day either way.
How do you handle emergencies?
In case of an emergency, we contact the parent or guardian and follow our emergency protocol, which each parent receives when their child enrolls in our program.
Do you provide feedback to parents about their child's progress?
Yes. We provide regular updates and detailed reports on your child's development and the areas that need attention.
What are your hours, and what does it cost?
Call and ask — 801-651-7444. Openings, days and rates change, and we would rather tell you what is true today than publish a number that goes stale on this page.
Something not answered here? Call (801) 651-7444 or email zshousedaycare@gmail.com.
Book a time to come see it.
Half an hour, agreed in advance, so you get somebody's full attention rather than their apology. You cannot tell from a website whether a place is right for your kid. You can tell in ten minutes standing in the room.
