me: I do interviews on Friday nights at 6pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 9:30 and 11am. I don't allow people I have never meet around the daycare children.
mom: how about (time date)
Me: please take the time to go to my website and look over all my policies.
mom: what is your web address
me: valerieshomedaycare. weebly.com, I am looking forward to seeing you, your child and your child's other parent on date at time, good -bye
Sometimes they will tell you there sad stories about other daycare's or about their child's other parent. I just say that's to bad and go over it in more detail during the interview.
There are so many ways the phone call can go. Just have a sheet done up with all the questions you want answered and have it were you can get to it fast. Make sure get all your questions answered. If they start to ask to many questions I simple tell them "We will go over it all in the interview, but you are more then welcome to visit my website. It also has all the information on it."
Do you have a contract and policies in place?
