These days with everything in the news I think that refusing that kind of request would make parents feel uneasy and maybe look elsewhere. I see nothing wrong with showing the entire house, whether it's used for daycare or not. I show everything. At the end of the day parents probably just want to make sure you don't run a meth lab in the spare bedroomas for just dropping in during daycare hours...I can see why a parent would want to do it, but personally I don't like the idea of someone I hardly know coming in here and me exposing the kids to a complete stranger. It's different once they have submitted their deposit and paperwork, as after that I do play dates with my clients so they can see how things are run and they get to know the group. But like I said, home daycares are under so much scrutiny these days, can we still afford to refuse these requests???
