Transition process

[Fun&care]

I do interviews in the evenings so parents can meet my whole family and I can focus my energy on the interview and not have to run around after the kids. After they have signed the contract and provided a deposit I do a bit of a transition which consists of usually two play dates that are one hour in length, parent comes with child and I plan so that the play date is during free play so we just chill out, chit chat and get to know each other and the new child gets familiar with the surroundings. And it's free of charge. Parents love this. I find it's a nice little intro for them, although I would be lying if I said I loved it...depending on the parent I guess. If I were in the parents shoes and a provider flat out refused that I come over in any kind of way I would be outta there. I want parents to feel comfortable bringing their child here; letting them be a part of your day, even a small part, goes a long way.
