Can i request the parents to bring the child along for the first meeting? I wished the parents could bring the child when they come to meet me for the first time but they refused saying they would first like to talk to me and see the daycare. I said ok. My question is can i request the parents to bring the child so that I can get to know the child or talk to him/her to see if she can respond and understand me. (or to see if accepting her would be too demanding as i dont want to neglect other children and only focus on one child). Its not only the parent who has to see if the daycare provider is experienced or trustworthy, we as providers also have to see if the parents r too demanding and if i can satisfy their needs or not.the child in question here is 3 yrs old.please help.
