What should I ask when I visit a daycare?
Child Care Aware of America suggests asking about the program's license, how many children each adult looks after, how the staff talk with families, and what a normal day looks like, and then watching how the adults and children treat each other. Peabody's checklist turns those questions into a page you can tick on your phone and print.
