Questions to ask on daycare tour?

[Anonymous]

I'm touring our first three daycare centers tomorrow. Any suggestions about what to ask while on the tour? FWIW, we're looking for an infant spot. Thanks!

The exact questions aren't as important as the feel you get from the place. Do you get good vibes or bad vibes? Do you feel like you can establish a bond with them? Do you feel like you would have peace of mind knowing your child was there each day?

Other than that, you should ask basics like pick up and drop off times, how they do nap and feeding schedules, what additional fees there are, how involved the parents are in the center, etc.

Good luck!
