What questions should I ask when touring a daycare in Salt Lake City, UT?
Touring a daycare in Salt Lake City, UT in person is one of the most important steps in the decision-making process, and going in with the right questions makes a big difference. Start with the basics: What are the staff-to-child ratios for your child's age group, and how is the center staffed during drop-off and pick-up? Ask how staff handle discipline and conflict between children, and what a typical daily schedule looks like. It's also worth asking about their communication style — do they use an app, daily sheets, or in-person check-ins to keep parents informed? On the practical side, ask about enrollment availability, waitlist timelines, tuition payment schedules, and their policy on sick days or closures.
