  Haven't done it yet, but this is my list

  -Are you infant cpr trained?

  -What vaccines are required for children and workers? (I'm overly paranoid about pertussis)
  

  - child:worker ratio

  -cost, of course

  -What do they do during the day with the children, is it structured or free play mostly?

  -Are drop in visits allowed? (this would be a requirement for me, I lack trust of people I don't know)

  - Who provides the food?

  -I would also suggest for you to look at some mother's day out programs, my friend exclusively uses them for her LOs and has been very satisfied

  -What outdoor space is available?

  -How is discipline handled?

   -How do they deal with biters-again, I'm paranoid

  -Are you allowed any weeks off w/o paying tuition for vacations, etc

  -Are cloth diapers allowed (if you use them)

  In addition to the above:

  -do you follow a specific schedule or can a baby be on their own

  -are there any weapons in the house and how are the secured (we are in a very liberal state as far as fire arms so Im paranoid)

  -are there any pets? How are the kept/are they kept from the children
