What to ask a preschool

The licensing record shows a program is licensed. These questions cover what it can’t.

  1. What does a day look like here, from drop-off to pick-up?
  2. Who will care for my child, and how long have they worked here?
  3. Do you have a place for my child’s start date?
  4. What are your hours and fees, and what did the state’s last licensing visit find?
