I don't play during the interview. I have a sheet of questions like, what are you looking for from me? What are your discipline philosophies? Have you been in daycare before, and if so why are you leaving? I go through our daily routine, how I deal with potty, how I deal with conflict, show them around the house, and go through the highlights of the "rules" in my contract and touch on why they're in place.

I then field questions, as most parents have an arsenal. As they are leaving, I thank them, tell them that I will send my contract for them to look over via email, and that we'll talk soon.

Good luck!! Have fun, be yourself, and don't agree to anything verbally before contract signing.
