Am I being too rigid? Parent wants me to negotiate my contract.

The only other thing I can suggest is set up an interview FIRST. Your just starting, you need to fill spaces and get as many contracts signed...I'd be leaving the contract signing to the last step. When a parent calls me, we discuss if I can meet the initial needs like days, age, hours etc. Then meet in the dayhome, then if they choose to sign up they bring me a registration fee and registration forms and then they get access to my website with all my policies and then lastly we sit down and sign and go over contract. Let them fall in love with the wonderful idea of you caring for your children, then talk logistics and policies! Good luck
