My state requires us to have specific policies and give them to parents upon enrollment. My handbook is fairly long and the parents have to initial each section.
How happy are you with her care?
I would just email/text/ask her. Ask her when she notified you of the policies and ask for a copy (before) you pay.
I do not have a contract. The items we signed were those things required for her licensing. I am in California. This included a statement on parent's rights, emergency contacts, who can pick her up. Things of that nature.
I have verified her license with the state website. It also shows inspections and the reports that are filed after those inspections showing the outcomes.
Fortunately, I'm happy with her care and she seems to genuinely care for and love my daughter which is nice.
I asked her for her policies last week. She wrote somethings on a piece of paper (seriously) and then said it was still in progress and she would get it to me by next Monday the 17th.
