Interview Help

[bright sparks]

I always ask the parents to let me know either way as you have a number of interviews scheduled and you don't want to give anyone false hope that the spot will be theirs. I also try to get a day from them that I should expect to hear from them. If they don't contact me by that date, I always call them. I don't think theres anything wrong with that. Its not pushy if you explained the above and its also and opportunity like others have said to get some good feedback as to why they didn't choose your daycare. You'll probably find though, that its not you. It will likely be a convenience related issue in terms of commuting or I have had really great intervies and they've decided to go with someone else because their friend send s their child to them so they have a good recomendation.

When I first started daycare in Burlington I interviewed constantly and it took a long time to fill up initially. I thought about changing my hours and my rates. When I did my research, I found that there were an obscene amount of providers in my area (20 within 3 blocks) so the competition was high. I joined a local association and they had a referal program which helped.
