Infant & Toddler Specialist Question:

☛ What’s your general philosophy on childcare?
☛ How many children attend the daycare? What is your child to caregiver ratio?
☛ What do you serve for meals and snacks? Or do parents need to provide food? (If your child has allergies, be sure to ask about how they handle that.) If babies are taking bottles, ask how they handle frozen or pumped breast milk or formula preparation.
☛ What activities do you do with the children? What is a typical day like?
☛ How do you handle discipline or behavioral problems? For instance, how do you handle biting, hitting, or bullying situations?
☛ Family-specific questions: if you use cloth diapers, be sure to ask about that, or if you have an unusual schedule that requires some flexibility, bring that up as well.
