Next steps

How do I visit Kindercare Learning Center, and what should I ask?

  1. When was your last state licensing visit, and what did it find?
  2. Licensed for 12 children: how many share your child’s room, and with how many adults?
  3. Which ages do you take, and how does a new child settle in?
  4. What are the daily hours and closure dates, and is there care before or after?
  5. What does a year cost in total, and when could our child start?
  6. 1 complaint visit is on file: what were they about, and how were they resolved?

On a visit, watch how adults talk with children, how play and rest are set up, and how staff handle a hard morning.
