Would you ever contact another provider for information?

.........in fact I think it should be mandatory for new providers to visit experienced providers. If this would prevent even 1 daycare injury/case of neglect/abuse it's worth it.

Statistically, most kids who are abused or die from purposeful acts on the part of the provider, come from homes with "experienced" older providers who have been in business years.
