So you've got your list of potential caregivers, and you're ready to start asking questions. The trouble is, you're not sure where to begin!
After all your goal is to Choose a Preschool that is right for you and your child, so a good place to start is with a quick introductory phone call to each provider on your list. From this intial contact you can often determine a lot that will help you decide which ones to cross of the list and which ones are worth pursuing further.
For the introductory phone call, it's best to keep it short, so as not to take up a lot of the provider's valuable time. You need information, but you should be respectful. You're just looking for a quick screening at this point. Ask if it is a good time to talk, if it's not good time - like they are busy, find out when a good time to call back would be
Some intital questions to ask when on you're on your introductory call.
• Is this a good time to talk? If not, when can I call you?
• What are your business hours?
• Where are you located?
• What are your rates?
• What ages do you care for?
• Do you have availability for my child? If not, how long is your waiting list?
• How many children do you care for at one time?
• What are your qualifications?
• How many providers do you have on your staff?
• How long have you been in business?
• Do you have your own children?
• Are you certified/registered/licensed?
