What is the full cost for my child’s age and schedule, including deposits and extra fees?
Is there an opening for our start date? How does your waitlist work?
Who will care for my child, what is the group size, and how do you cover staff absences?
How do you handle allergies, medication, illness, and emergencies?
What does a typical day look like, and how will you share updates with me?
What changed after the most recent finding about “Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity”, and can you show evidence of the correction?
