My wife ran a dayhome for years, and off the top of my head, here are a couple things I'd ask:
- What kind of snacks/meals does she provide? (My wife made everything from scratch, had a balanced meal plan)
- Try to get a gauge on how much outside play time they get, if you think that's important. My wife used to have them outside a lot and parents loved it...except for the one couple that had a talk with her saying "my son is more of a home body and just likes to watch TV", but that's a different story...SMH
You can ask for references from other parents too. However, be careful not to have too many questions, or be overbearing, as the dayhome parents can be very picky as well. They're interviewing you just as much as you are them. Dayhome Moms get constant calls.
Hope that helps.
