Interview time?

[Serendipity]

I am the odd duck here and schedule my interviews DURING daycare hours. I also do 2 or more interviews, depending on the situation and the family. I do the first one as a get to know the needs of the family and just a small introduction about me and what my program offers. I like to do this withOUT the potential clients child(ren) present. I want the potential clients to see me interact with the other kids, see what the other kids are doing and how my physical environment funtions while children are present and using the toys and equipment.

I do the second interview with the child and parents. I like this one to be during daycare hours too so both the parents and I can see how their child will interact with the other kids.

I will sometimes do a 3rd interview, if necessary, for the parents to follow up with any questions they might have and so I can go over any complicated or complex policies or rules I have that I want to make sure they fully understand. The last interview can be done during or after daycare hours.
