As a provider if another provider called me and asked about a past family I wouldn't give any information to them other than confirming I no longer provide care.
Anything beyond that is a breach of confidentiality and is unprofessional in my opinion.
Most child care programs have a trial period to figure out if a family or child is or isn't a good fit.
