Parents in the daycare...

[apples and bananas]

I don't interview during daycare hours. For a few reasons.

1. I don't know these people. I'm alone with up to 5 children. It's just to safe. And it's not fair to expose my daycare kids to someone they don't know and I don't know.

2, The kids are completely thrown off. They're either completely shy or complete show offs.

3. I can't focus on the safety of up to 5 kids and focus on making a good impression on a new family at the same time.

I let clients know this right away when they ask to come during the day.

If they like me and I like them and they'd like to visit during the day they are welcome to come between 10 and 11 am only and they can visit with me while the kids play outside. It's the only way I can successfully manage it.
