Hi everyone,

So I decided to open up a spot in the next few months and am feeling very frustrated these days with the interviewing process. For example: I sent a family my contract, handbook and registration package so they could look it over before the interview. This is something I only just starting doing in the hopes that I could weed out any families that weren't suited for my daycare. or at the very least shorten the interviewing process. So, last week the mom shows up for interview and tells me having looked over the contract package covered many of her questions and that my package is very thorough. However, then keeps the interview going for OVER an HOUR! I let her know upon leaving that the spot is open to her son, as the family seems nice, but to let me know within a week. She let me know - 10 minutes before the week deadline was up that she went with another daycare....really?! I could've guessed that last Wednesday! I am so frustrated with my time being wasted! Any advice, I am just so frustrated and really feel, even more than usual, that my time is undervalued.
