That's a good idea BS! I hate meeting with families that would clearly not fit in with my dc and follow my rules.

I email my parent package to them and if after reading that they are still interested, I set up an in person interview. I have only had a couple who chose not to meet me and that was because I was not in their budget or time frame. Those are the 2 biggest deal breakers!! A phone call would clear all this up too but I find if parents have time to read my contract and really think about it than the in person interview goes much quicker as they know all the policies and come ready with specific questions that relate to me and my daycare and not just general questions.

I don't even talk to my fiance on the phone LOL (well very rarely)
