I always interview DURING daycare, not only do I not want to lose my very important family time, but I also feel it is very important to have the "potential" family see me "in action". Always check my schedule and pick a day with lesser kids or "not so difficult to manage kids", so I can give enough time to both Day Care and the Family. And always have the interview during the AM "slow-time"....we have a period just after breakfast and busy off to school kids going out the door that the children are allowed 30 minutes of "programs" on TV, while I finally sit to do coffee and watch them quietly. thats my "interview" time as well!
