I would ask what education each of the current staff has. At the previous center there were teachers that were doing things that were not developmentally appropriate. Also, how current are their classes? If they took ECE classes 25 years ago, they may still believe in Time Outs, punishments, shaming for guidance and they may not accept current generally accepted practices. Another thing I would need to know is what their curriculum is all about. I would hope it was child directed and based on children's needs and interests.
