Make a useful first comparison
Start with the specific service, location and outcome you need. The right questions make it easier to compare providers and understand what is included before committing your time or budget.
- What ages, program schedule and enrollment rules apply?
- What credentials, oversight and staff arrangements can the provider document?
- What is included in fees and what are the withdrawal or cancellation terms?
- Can you visit, ask about access needs and confirm pickup and communication procedures?
