Parents asking for References

[playfelt]

I give the page of references when I do an interview. It contains the names and numbers of current families and 2 previous families so it covers about a 6 year time frame. Very few call the names. What I like is when a parent does call the client tells me the next day they spoke to the family and what they thought or what were issues and I love getting that feedback. And my current parents appreciate getting a feel for anyone new that might be coming into the daycare too.

I have a list of references I give out...4 in total. 2 current and 2 past. I also show them all of the written references I have (I ask each family while they are in my care). Some call and some don't.
