I have them come to me (after hours) to sign the contract - I also get them to sign the manual as well. This way, I am going over everything with them, word for word - so if the parents don't understand it, they can ask! Then parents can't go to you and say, "I didn't know that". Well, you did, cause we went over it all together.

I NEVER let them go home with the contract, until both parties have signed.

What I do: Have the parents and child over for 1 or 2 interviews, then the 3rd time, I have them over with the 2-week non-refundable deposit, then to look over the manual, have them sign that, then look over the contract, and have them sign that. If they would like a copy, we fill out another one word for word. I keep the Originals. If they don't bring me the deposit during this interview/signing on process, I don't get them to sign anything....
