Things to keep in Mind

There are many factors for parents to consider when choosing a child care or preschool program for your child. First Things First encourages you to visit programs in person.
Quality First is a voluntary program, and First Things First does not have the capacity to enroll all providers in Arizona who are interested in participating. There are certainly many quality programs in Arizona not enrolled in Quality First.
