(for example; are you looking for a large group for your child to learn social skills or are you looking for a small group so your child receives more one-to-one care)
3.) What do you find is the most difficult part of parenting? the easiest?
4.) Please describe your bed time expectations/routines
a) your meal time/expectations routines
b) your daily activities/routines
5.) Are there other adults in your child's life that are a source of influence, support, guidance and care giving?
6.) Are you a fairly scheduled family or do you prefer to take things as they come?
7.) What are the last 3 illnesses/situations that required your child to see a doctor?
8.) Would you describe your child as a leader, a follower or a little of both?
9.) Please tell me a little bit about your discipline methods both at home and in public
10.) What is your number one reason for seeking a home based child care vs. center care
The answers to these questions tell you ALOT about a family and what they believe and how they operate at home etc...
Thanks! I just thought of one in relation to your 9th question:
What type of behavior in your child warrants discipline?
