before, should there have been a letter of some sort letting us know he'll be there....I'm not sure...just trying to find out. 
She also doesn't have any aides. It's just her and 7 or 8 other children, including 2 infants.
I just want to know who's at the home with her.
What state are you in?
I am in MN and ALL people living in the home over age 13 must have a background check completed.
We WILL but do NOT at this time have to be fingerprinted (that is a new licensing requirement that has not yet been completed)
The only way someone could confirm this would be to check with licensing. Otherwise, names of people living in the home aren't listed on any licensing site.
As for your DD being alone with your providers boyfriend...that would NOT be acceptable or allowed in my state unless the boyfriend has taken required trainings and is listed as an assistant to the provider. Otherwise ONLY the license holder (and approved helpers/assistants) are allowed to be left alone with any of the daycare children.
