How This Quiz Works
What factors does the quiz consider?
The quiz evaluates your work schedule, budget, number of children, children's ages, priorities (like socialization vs. flexibility), sick child needs, and whether you have spare room for an au pair.
How are recommendations calculated?
Each answer earns points for different childcare types based on how well they match that need. The options with the highest scores become your top recommendations.
Should I only consider my top result?
Not necessarily! Your top 2-3 results are all worth exploring. We recommend researching each option and visiting providers before making your final decision.
