Start with licensing
A licence gives families a concrete place to begin. Ask to understand the type of licence, age ranges covered, and how inspection records can be reviewed.
Consider the overnight environment
Look for a calm, clean, comfortable sleeping arrangement and ask how familiar bedtime routines are supported.
Ask about caregiver experience
Families should understand who is present overnight, their qualifications, and how continuity is maintained from evening through morning.
Tour with your real schedule in mind
Bring the questions created by your child’s age, your work hours, and the timing of arrival and pickup.
