Hi Rina. So many things to consider when finding the right provider for your family. I am sure you have heard that the most important thing is to trust your instincts, do your research and make a choice you feel comfortable with. If structured activities are really important to you, you should discuss this with the 2 potential providers. Maybe they didn't have anything planned during your visit, not everyone does something everyday. As for napping, all the kids I watch sleep in the same room, in their own playpen. Most of the parents were concerned their child would not nap since they weren't alone. Honestly, not the case at all. They sleep beautifully. As for deposits, that is normal practice. There are very few providers who will sign on a new family without receiving a deposit, so be prepared to provide one no matter where you go. Once again any concerns or questions you might have, you should discuss with the providers right away. That way there are no surprises down the road. Best of luck on your search
