You put them in an age-appropriate car seat, baby-proof your house with gadgets, place a life jacket on them when around water, and research your daycare and childcare provider options. You rightfully assume that the daycare you decide to take them to will be just as committed to their safety as you are. When you learn the hard way that you were wrong in your assumptions, your whole world can come tumbling down.
