General
1.Operating hours (daily drop off & pick up, flexibility), Vacation
schedules
2.Teacher-to-child ratio, how are children grouped, by age?
3.Children’s background (ethnic, cultural, religious), are there any kids
with special needs?
Daily activities
4.Schedule of daily activities (TV and video time, story time, outdoor time
(winter), snacks, meals, water, free time, group activities, individual
activities, art, music), static daily routine?
5.Is there a daily report? (diapers, accident, eating, sleeping, emotion)
6.Are the toys age-appropriate? How old are the toys?
School philosophies
7.School philosophies on discipline (time-out, punishment if a child hits
another child or throws a tantrum over a toy someone else is playing with,
what should the consequences be? Separation anxiety), feeding (frequency,
menu, individual needs—home-made food allowed? No candies), and sleeping (
nap time, what if my child refuses to sleep)
8.Is there a written policy?
Staff
9.Staff recruitment requirement, Teacher’s education level, consistency (
how long do they usually stay), experience,
10.Staff benefits and turnover ratio
Safety
11.Safety measure (How do you monitor kids on the playground? How old is the
equipment has it recently been inspected)
12.Emergency, doctor?
Health and hygiene
13.Cleanness (wash hands, such fingers, toy clean), toilet teaching
14.Sick-child policy (which illnesses will keep the child/staff home and for
how long, immunization requirement for children and employees)
Interaction with parents
15.Do you have an open-door policy which encourages parents to stop by
unannounced?
16.If we have to withdraw from the daycare, is there any penalty? How many
days ahead shall we warn the school?
17.Can we call the references? | b********i
发帖数: 10335 | 2 再问问：
1. 是否提供午饭。
2. 你家孩子可能在家是中文环境，老师有没有这方面的经验或者比较能理解这样的孩
子。
3. 有些幼儿园，会安排相对多一些的需要家长共同参与的活动，那样就需要家长到时
候能够出现。有的幼儿园可能会比较少的骚扰家长。看你倾向哪一种，不妨了解了解他
们的安排。
4. 措辞最好再考虑考虑，比如最后这个“How many days ahead shall we WARN the
school?”---warn是不是太狠了。。
5. 其他的，你愿意问就问吧。

发帖数: 7643 | 3 I don't feel comfortable with Question 3 - maybe you want to rephrase? If
you're going to visit a large facility, a lot of questions from your list
shall be provided in a print-out. I'd request to visit the classroom and
meet the teachers where your little one will go. Nothing is more convenicing
than nice teachers and smilly kids. | C*****d
