Visiting Childcare Centers 


Adam: What’s that? 


Noelle: It’s a list of questions I’m going to ask at the childcare center when we visit today. I want to be prepared. 


Adam: We already know that it’s licensed 1 and has a good reputation. What other questions are you going to ask? 


Noelle: Lots. For instance, I want to know what the ratio is of children to each childcare worker and what their staff turnover 2 rate is. 


Adam: Okay, I guess those are important questions. 


Noelle: And I want to know what their policies are on disciplining the kids and what kinds of meals and snacks they serve. 


Adam: Also good questions. 


Noelle: And I want to find out their policies on sick kids and if they allow late pick-up. 


Adam: Yeah, I guess those are really good questions, too. 


Noelle: And I want to know if I can observe any time I want to and if there is a secure check-in/check- out system. 


Adam: Those are all good questions, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you’ve done your homework. 


Noelle: That’s why you married me, right? Because I’m so practical? 


Adam: If that’s why I married you, wouldn’t that make me the practical one?
