The Top 5 Questions Parents Ask Before Enrolling—Answered by Brainy Kids Place
Choosing the right child care center is a big decision. Parents want to know that their child will be safe, nurtured, and prepared for the future. Over the years, we’ve met with hundreds of Santa Fe families during tours, and the same questions come up again and again.
At Brainy Kids Place, we believe parents deserve clear answers—and we’re proud to provide them. Here are the top five questions parents ask before enrolling, along with our answers.
1. How do you keep children safe?
Safety is our top priority. Our building stays locked during the day, and parents use a secure PIN and fingerprint system for entry. Only authorized adults with proper ID may pick up children. All staff are CPR and First Aid certified, and we practice regular fire and weather drills. We also maintain strict illness policies and eco-healthy cleaning practices so children stay safe and healthy.
2. What curriculum do you use?
We use the Frog Street Curriculum, a nationally recognized, research-based program that balances academics and play. Children learn early literacy, math, and science through hands-on activities while also developing social-emotional skills through Conscious Discipline. The result? Kids who are excited to learn and ready for kindergarten.
3. What is the teacher-to-child ratio?
We maintain low ratios to ensure children receive plenty of individual attention. This allows teachers to connect personally with each child, guide learning more effectively, and build stronger relationships with families.
4. How do you communicate with parents?
Parents love our real-time app. Throughout the day, you’ll receive updates, photos, and milestone reports so you always know how your child is doing. Teachers are also available for conversations at drop-off, pick-up, and scheduled conferences. We believe communication is the key to a strong parent-teacher partnership.
5. What makes Brainy Kids Place different from other centers?
Families tell us the difference is clear: our teachers feel like family. We’ve served Santa Fe for over 10 years, we have the most parent reviews in town, and our values—Fun, Relationships, and Trust—guide everything we do. Parents don’t just choose us for programs and policies—they choose us because of how we care for their children.
