Questions to ask on a tour

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

  1. Ask how they keep enrollment, immunization, and emergency-contact records current - their state findings include documentation lapses

  3. For a home-based program, ask which areas of the home children use and who else is present during care hours
  4. Ask about teacher-to-child ratios and how supervision is maintained through the day
