Daycare interviews........

[playfelt]

I do all interviews in the evenings and on weekends and I only do them when my husband or older daughter is home to help with my youngest and keep her upstairs while we are down in the playroom. I tell parents that I can not devote my attention totally to them to have them come during the day nor is it fair to the kids already in care to constantly have their playtime disrupted by visitors. There is also an element of safety in this day and age where I like to have another adult in the home when I am letting strangers in.

I will do an interview as soon as daycare day is over and let family fend for themselves more or less for supper. I actual prefer this because they new family is not expecting perfection knowing it is the end of the day and I had naptime to straighten up a bit and the interview is over and done with by the time the evening news comes on. I usually do a crockpot on interview nights so when it is done my supper is hot and waiting too. And then the rest of the night is still my own.
