Chosen for this facility's inspection history and profile — bring them along on your visit.

  3. For a home-based program, ask which areas of the home children use and who else is present during care hours
  4. They accept child care subsidies - ask what the enrollment process looks like and whether there is a waitlist for subsidized spots
